A separate chapter on diseases and disorders provides a complete primer on the health needs and veterinary care of these rewarding amphibians.

Synopsis

Tree frogs are among the most popular animals to keep in a vivarium because they often anchor to glass sides or perch on vivarium plants. These interesting little frogs can be kept with other small frogs and small lizards, which makes for a great display vivarium. Inside you'll learn how to care for these fascinating creatures, from acclimating imported species to housing, feeding and captive-breeding. Written by experienced and recognized frog herpetoculturists, this book focuses on the care of popular tree frogs such as red-eyed tree frogs, White's tree frog, and white-lipped tree frogs. A helpful section on diseases and disorders is also included.
