Can someone tell me it this sounds like I'm doing an ok job of taking care of my Cuban Tree Frog?
I'm new at the whole frog thing.
I have a Cuban TreeFrog in a 10 gallon tank.
It has a light on top
and I am watching the temp and humidity
I feed him approx. 3 crickets at night.
He has a little water tray.
I mist the tank in the morning and before I go to bed
He has plenty to climb on.
I change the bedding once a month.
does all that sound good enough or do I need to do more?
Thank you
It all does sound good, but I have two additional questions…
1) What is the wattage of light and average temperature in the tank?
2) What kind of bedding are you using?
The wattage of most reptile bulbs supplied in pet stores is usually too high for frogs. It dries out their environment faster and increases the temperature to an unsafe level. If on average you are able to keep the tank between 65 and 80 with or without a light, your frog will be OK.
The best kind of bedding you can use is the bedding that comes in bricks. They are condensed bricks made of coconut shell usually. It looks like dirt once you add water for it to expand and hold humidity like no other bedding can.
I used to be a manager at a pet store and heard a lot of stories about people neglecting their pets or not taking care of them properly. Sounds like you are doing great though!

Care for a "White's Tree Frog"?
I just recently purchased a White's Tree frog and I just wanted to know it anyone had anything to offer as to how to make then live a happier more active life. He isn't very active and I am just wondering if he's lazy or sick?
I have 3 White's
They all sleep during the day and since they are nocturnal
most of the time they are pretty active at night.
Make sure that you have branches in their
another thing to have in their cage would be a hollow log or tree stump looking thing them for your frog to sleep in during the day
im sure if you looked in his cage about 3 hours into the night it would be in there and looking pretty active
