How do you keep Amazon milk frogs?

Amazon milk frogs require a spacious terrarium, a large 2ft tall terrarium would be ideal for a group of 3-4 individuals. They require a humid rainforest set up with soil and moss as a substrate. The terrarium should be equipped with logs, branches and plants (plastic or live).Plastic plants can be taken away and washed, live plants help provide higher humidity.

These frogs require a temperature of around 25-27°C (75 – 80F) and drop to around 20°C (70F) at night. These frogs seem to enjoy and benefit from UVA 5.0 or 6.0 should be provided for light. The humidity needs to be high (70-80%) which is achieved by heavy spraying in the morning and again at night.

Water should be changed daily with de-chlorinated water to avoid the build up of bacteria. Terrarium furnishings can be taken away and washed with hot water once a month. Amazon milk frogs should be fed daily with suitable sized insects including small locust, crickets and mini-mealworms. These food items should be dusted with a calcium/vitamin supplement every other feed.
