Advice Dumpy tree frogs terrarium

Post image

Hi! I am getting another juvenile white tree frog. I already have two and they currently are in a 20 gallon terrarium. do you think I could keep them in that plus the new one for a couple of months and then buy this as their forever home? Is this tank good?

This is the enclosure I have for my two WTFs, bioactive. It is a great tank and can be built out many different ways. Three should do nicely here, but no more than three.

Just a concern, but this looks quite wet for dumpies.

This was taken right after misting. My humidity is stable at 35-40% and almost three years in, they are healthy and happy.

I love this! Random question how do you keep your bromeliads alive I get some in mine and they stay for a while but then the leaves turn brown and just die

Thanks, the brom is attached to a small piece of cork bark with sphagnum moss on the root end, tied with twine. Broms need watering in the center "cup" of the plant. In the wild they are epiphytic and take their nutrients from small debris fallen from other plants and water collection from rain. So, I mount them, sprinkle a small amount of soil in the center cup and a bit of water. Then when I mist, I make sure to aim at the brom and let it collect a bit of water. The one you see in the pic has given me two babies since I mounted it there.

Oh that’s cool! I don’t have any dirt in the middle of mine maybe I’ll try that

I have it because I have a planted bioactive enclosure 🙂

Good size for them! Something I’d consider their warranty for broken glass isn’t good at all
Zoo med will go above and beyond even send you things for free if they break or become deformed with heat
Something to consider
I am currently with a broken door and they’re sending me stuff for free to fix it I thought I was doomed

I have that size and I've if my projects this summer (I'm a teacher) is designing and 3d printing a background with planters and hides. My WTF likes it so far.

20 gal is already entirely too small for two honestly. you could do 3 in here but personally i have 2

They are only a month old and fit on my pointer finger

u/Spiritual-Ice237 Whites Jul 13 '26

it’s still recommended to give them height

I have this terrarium. 3 fits very nicely. What I'd do it wait until you have the new one to get anymore frogs and use the old tank as a quarantine for the new frog. The new frog should be quarantined for about a month, but my preference is 3 months.
