Pacific tree frogs love having plenty of space to hop around in, so you'll need a large tank to keep your frog happy. Look online or at your local pet store to find a glass tank or aquarium with a meshed lid on top that has a capacity of at least 10USgal (38L). Pacific tree frogs tend to prefer vertical environments, so try and find a tank that is taller than it is wide. The mesh lid should be wide enough to allow plenty of ventilation into the tank, but not so wide that your frog can escape through it. Use a fine wire mesh as the lid. Pacific tree frogs are naturally very social animals, so they will love having tank mates rather than living alone. Choose frogs of the same breed and only opt to have frogs of both genders if you are comfortable breeding them. Be aware that adding more frogs to your tank will increase the amount of food you need to provide them, as well as the frequency with which you need to clean out the tank. Substrate is the lining or "carpet" that your frog can rest on in the tank. There are natural substrates, such as ones made of coconut fiber or soil, as well as artificial ones that more resemble Astroturf. Purchase a substrate material from your local pet store and use it to line around 1 inch (2.5cm) at the bottom of the tank. If you choose a natural substrate, make sure you do not pick one made of gravel, sand, or anything else harsh. Your frog may try and swallow the substrate, so hard materials may hurt it. You can also use some types of store-bought moss, fertilizer-free potting soil, or shredded leaves as a substrate material. The substrate will make the tank more comfortable for the frog, as well as helping keep the tank humid, and absorbing some of their waste. Pacific tree frogs are named for their tree-dwelling nature and their love of climbing things. To make your frog feel more at home in the tank, put in some small plants, twigs, rocks, branches, or even logs. Your frog will climb on these or hide under them, just like it would in nature. Artificial plants are much easier to maintain than real plants or logs. Ask at your local pet store to find some artificial plants you can use to decorate your frog's tank. If you bring in natural decorations from the outdoors, choose things that come from the frog's natural habitat. Your frog will need to spend a lot of time sitting in water, absorbing it through its skin to stay hydrated. Fill a large dish with filtered water, or tap water that has been treated with a dechlorination tablet, and place it in the tank. Make sure the water dish you add won't be knocked over by your frog. Many pet stores sell water dishes designed specifically for frogs and toads, which look like small ponds or lagoons. The dish should cover around 1/3 of the frog's enclosure, to ensure it has plenty of water to sit, soak, and swim in. Most tap water has small amounts of chlorine in it, which is toxic to frogs. Make sure you only use filtered water, bottled water, or tap water that has been treated with a dechlorination tablet.
