“My 10-Year-Old Loves Her Red-Eyed Tree Frog!”
My 10-year-old daughter wanted to get a Red-Eyed Tree Frog for Christmas so bad. However, my husband and I were concerned that she would not be able to take care of such a delicate creature properly. So, we downloaded “Red Eyed Tree Frog Secrets” and read it together before agreeing to buy her one of her own. We are proud to report that she is following all of the steps that she learned in the book and taking very good care of her new best friend. She has even impressed friends and neighbors with her knowledge!

One of the most important things that you will learn about in this book is creating the proper environment for your Red-Eyed Tree Frog. Keep in mind that in order for your frog to thrive, you must mimic its natural habitat as closely as possible.
Some of the things you will learn about include:
Cages and Enclosures. Red-Eyed Tree Frogs require an adequate amount of ventilation. These active creatures need plenty of space, both vertically as well as horizontally. Your cage and enclosure options include glass aquaria and the like, plastic storage containers, screen cages, and several custom-made options.
Substrates. The problems you are having with your Red-Eyed Tree Frog may be related to the type of material that you are using to line your cage. Your frog needs something that will retain moisture and help to keep the habitat humid. Avoid any substrates that may cause abrasions to the underbelly of your Red-Eyed Tree Frog. The substrate that you choose should be easy to keep clean and harmless if accidentally ingested. The best options for substrates include a bare cage bottom, paper towels, foam rubber, reptile carpeting, coconut husk fiber, soil, moss, bark, mulch, gravel, and stones.
Water Sources. Red-Eyed Tree Frogs are amphibians, which means they do not drink water the way mammals do. Instead, they absorb moisture through their skin. Therefore, they need a fresh container of water for soaking.
Heating Options. These cold-blooded amphibians require an ambient temperature of the air in order to maintain a healthy body temperature. In addition to an accurate digital thermometer, you will also need to learn about alternative ways to keep your Red-Eyed Tree Frog warm and healthy, including light bulbs, hot rocks, and reptile heat pads.
Furnishings. The Red-Eyed Tree Frog spends most of its time in the wild resting on leaves or branches high above the ground. Proper furnishings are crucial to the health and happiness of your pet.
Maintaining Proper Humidity Levels. If your Red-Eyed Tree Frog is not getting the humidity that it needs, its skin may dry out. The humidity level in your frog’s enclosure should stay between 60% and 90%, which is much higher than in most homes. A humidity gauge is crucial to ensure your Red-Eyed Tree Frog stays moist and happy.
Lighting Options. Unlike many reptiles, the Red-Eyed Tree Frog does not require special ultraviolet light. The incandescent light you are using for a heat source may be sufficient.
And Much More!
In addition to providing your Red-Eyed Tree Frog with the right enclosure, you must also learn the proper way to handle your pet. You have probably noticed how at ease expert owners are when handling these delicate creatures…this is because they know exactly what they are doing as well as what NOT to do!
