Synopsis

Among the best vivarium animals are the stunningly beautiful tree frogs, the subject of this book. This colorful and informative guide written by three renowned ranine experts focuses on the care of tree frogs but also covers important topics, from acclimating imported species to housing, feeding, and captive breeding. Popular Tree Frogs proves the most authoritative and reliable resource for keeping tree frogs healthy and thriving. Authors Philippe de Vosjoli, Robert Maillous, and Drew Ready provide guidelines for selecting and keeping the most popular species of tree frogs, highlighting White’s tree frogs and red-eyed tree frogs as well as white-lipped tree frogs, green tree frogs, Cuban tree frog, barking tree frog, gray tree frog, golden foam nest frogs, gliding tree frogs, and Australian red-eyed tree frogs. For each featured tree frog, the authors provide insight into size, longevity, care and maintenance, sexing, feeding, breeding, and more. This Advanced Vivarium Systems title includes information about selecting a healthy example, quarantine and acclimation considerations, housing needs, water and feeding, as well as solid advice about keeping tree frogs healthy. A separate chapter on diseases and disorders provides a complete primer on the health needs and veterinary care of these rewarding amphibians.
