Today I’m creating a bioactive vivarium for my Red-Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas)! • Inquiries: kaylaroachreptiles@gmail.com • Instagram: kaylas.crit... • Soundtracks retrieved from Epidemic Sounds
Beautiful setup for a beautiful frog 🌿🐸! Loved your emphasis on substrate quality/ ingredients + adding beneficial bacteria. It’s something most people overlook! Soil undergoes a nitrogen cycle just like aquariums do!
this one looks so cool and the frog looked so happy! Must feel nice mentally to have all these little containers of nature in your home, its like a breath of fresh air i would imagine
Thank you so much Noah! It’s so refreshing and therapeutic to have a piece of nature in my home. The animals and the plants really make it feel like I’m in the middle of a jungle! 🌱✨
another amazing video! love how the enclosure turned out and it looks like the froggo is also a big fan! keep up the great work im already excited for the next one!
This is the best Bioactive video I have seen on all of youtube! I have been researching this for a few days now, video after video and you did extraordinary. Great set up, that frog will be living it's best life in there! Thanks for sharing.
I love how informative you are on each step! And one beautiful build. Side note not many people will “seed” a bioactive or tell people to do so kudos 🙌
You just made me decide to get a tree frog 😄Very beautiful setup. Can’t wait to watch more of your T videos. Especially Arboreals as I’ve just gotten a couple of these.
Very cool Tree Frog and looks like a comfortable, well built ecosystem home for the frog too, great job. I have aquatic frogs, but they're not nearly as much of a challenge as maintaining this cool set up.
Really cool looking Red eye and really like the set up. I got my first 1st, 2 weeks ago and is still so small but looking to start a build on a bigger home for it soon. I found this video interesting as you used the tank I was considering. What moss do you use? I have no luck with moss in my Dart frog tanks and your moss looks amazing really jealous lol :) New to your channel but will subscribe and the way you did the video I think was really good :)
Love your content not mention you have a beautiful voice wishing you all the best if I ever get married hopefully my wife loves animals has much as you!
Ok that is to small for a RETF, i have them myself and I would not have them in lower then 36 inch so exo terra 24” x 18” x 36 would be great. And so mutch more big leaf plants, thats not enough.
Great video Kayla! Easy to follow :). Question, can you tell me something about the sound volume they produce? Are they really loud at night? Do you still sleep well :p? Might need to inform my neighbours before setting up. Thanks a lot!
This is such a beautiful set up! I am wondering though, did you only use sphagnum moss to plant the suspended pothos and bromeliad since they aren’t in soil?
Nice video…. Just so you know, most frogs absolutely hate when substrate sticks to them… red eye tree frogs are one of the pickiest when it comes to conditions and cleanliness… you’re going to want to find a way to keep the frog From getting all that substrate stuck to it.
Thank you so much for the advice Troy! I appreciate that so much! I’m glad you mentioned it. I’ll put a heavy layer of leaf litter over the soil to prevent that from happening! 😊🐸
@@kaylaroach yea that’s would be for the best… also some sort of water dish would help greatly as well… water dish’s should be cleaned daily and replenished with fresh water every night for red eyes.
How many frogs can you safely house in this setup. Do tree frogs sleep all day or are they activate? By the way do you ever think of breeding your frogs, tadpoles are fascinating .
Where do yall buy these frogs because i watched another video to do research on how to take care of a tree frog before i buy one but uhhhh can't buy one if i can't find out how to buy them
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. Also, what a great question! I actually packed the cork tube with soil and lots of sphagnum moss! Pothos is an extremely hardy plant, which worked in my favour for this setup! 😊🌱
Ok question do black eyed tree frogs need the same environment as a red eyed one because I am getting one and it costs quite a bit and I need to know what ti get
I’m not familiar with the husbandry requirements for Black Eyed Tree Frogs. I’m sure there are some similarities to Red Eyed Tree Frogs, but I would suggest doing extensive research in order to be best prepared for the exact species you plan on getting! 😊🐸
I’ve loved red eye tree frogs since I was a kid, but have no idea where to start with having one as a pet, how did you learn about creating such a healthy environment for them?
They are a beautiful species! I learned by doing research online, talking to other keepers, and through my experience with other reptiles and amphibians. 😊🐸
What is wrong with the fertilizers that are in the plants i put a plant in my tank without taking the old dirty out shouldn't i be worred about that its been in for about a week and it doesn't seem to have done anything bad but i definitely remember seeing the fertilizer balls
I’ve used many different brands of topsoil from garden centres, hardware stores, etc. I don’t stick with one brand in particular! They have all worked great, the most important part is to sift through the soil and remove any pieces of plastic or unwanted debris.
Lots if why you are using something, reasoning, andvhow too on each item. PS can I strongly suggest you do NOT rinse dirt in your sink. NOT good for your plumbing
