Enclosure recommendations
Marsupial Frogs can be kept in groups. The minimum enclosure size for up to 3 frogs is a 45×45×60cm glass terrarium. A thermostatically controlled heat mat should be attached to an outside wall of the enclosure, or alternatively overhead heating can be used. UV lighting is recommended.
These frogs do well in a bioactive, live-planted enclosure with plenty of naturalistic hides and climbing opportunities, as well as a water bowl that is refreshed daily. Humidity levels of 70-80% should be provided with plenty of ventilation to prevent the environment becoming stagnant or constantly wet.
