Australian Green Tree Frog Care Guide for Beginners
- Experience level: Beginner
- Adult size: 7–10cm
- Lifespan: 15–20 years
- Enclosure: A tall enclosure of at least 45 x 45 x 60cm for one or two adults, with branches and broad-leaved plants.
- Temperature: Day 22–28°C, night 18–22°C. A low-wattage heat source with a thermostat helps in cooler homes.
- Humidity: 50–70%. Mist once a day and provide a large, shallow water bowl.
- Lighting: Low-level UVB (2–6%) on a 12-hour day/night timer, plus a plant light for live plants.
- Substrate and décor: Rainforest Substrate Mix with leaf litter, moss, live plants and cork bark.
- Diet: Insectivore: gut-loaded crickets, woodies and roaches. Juveniles eat daily; adults 2–3 times a week. Dust with calcium. Adults gain weight easily, so do not overfeed.
- Handling: Keep handling to a minimum. Frogs absorb chemicals through their skin, so only handle with clean, wet, soap-free hands.
- Water: Use dechlorinated or rainwater for misting and water bowls. Never use straight tap water.
- Licence: A frog licence is required in most Australian states before you buy. See our Reptile & Frog Licensing guide.
Everything you need: Tree Frog Enclosure Starter Kit, Rainforest Substrate Mix, Reptile & Amphibian UVB Bulb, Terrarium Misting Bottle.

Our Surry Hills store is small, so we keep in-store stock deliberately limited. Not everything online is on the shelf, so call us on (02) 7813 9640 before visiting for a specific item.
All reptiles and amphibians are sold online only, due to permit requirements.
Visit us at Shop 5, 450 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010. Open Wednesday to Sunday.
Every live animal is checked before it leaves us and packed by an experienced keeper.
If your animal arrives dead, contact us within one hour of delivery with a photo, and we will send a replacement. You don’t pay shipping on the replacement. Photo helps us identify what caused death so we can help prevent it from happening again with your order, and others.
Someone needs to be home to receive the parcel. We can’t cover animals left at a depot, sent to an incorrect address, or reported more than an hour after delivery.
