First you find out about their behavior and then you treat it like other treefrogs ( give it all it's basic needs and requirements that tree frogs need ), and you can adjust the temperature and the humidity to see what they like best. I think if they are happy they would feed very well and act natural. Tips: Amphibians like moderately cool temp. not toasty like reptile, infact, it will dehydrate and cook them at high temp. and heat. Usually, frogs are active during rainy and wet seasons, so I would guess they like cool and moist habitat. Most species are found near a water source and come out to feed when it's cooler because they loose water very quickly and will soon dehydrate if no water is available...some species will brumate if it gets dry and seal themselves in water prove coocoon and become inactive.

Here's a care sheet I wrote on this species. One of my favorite frogs and a pretty easy keeper.

I believe peacock treefrogs are also called barking treefrogs, so do a search for that instead, you should get better results.
