Default Tree frog vivarium

Sharing my first foray into tree frog vivarium setup:







Setup is currently holding 6 white green frogs. Feeding the frogs once per week with crickets and superworm dusted with calcium powder.

1. Glass vivarium from AquaOne
2. Foam background from Aqua Empire
3. Flora selected are mainly those suited for indoors or glass terrarium
4. Dead vines and branches
5. Compost soil
6. Moss/fern carpet from C328

As this is my first vivarium, advice are most welcome on how to maintain the plants, especially the carpet moss/fern and the pitcher plant.

Thanks for viewing.

Tank is slightly smaller than 2 feet, measures about 58 cm across. It may be a bit crowded to house 6 GTFs.

Hi,

1) I got the flora and compost from the Far East Flora at Thomson Road, I mixed two types of compost: soil compost and multi-purpose compost.

2) I place the plants first can then cut the carpet moss to cover the exposed soil area.

3) There are some isopods that came with the multipurpose compost. If I can see the waste, I will pick them out with a tweezer.

Hi,

I picked up the dead vines at Chestnut Drive, near the entrance to the cycling track. Used a gardening scissors to cut them to the size I require.
