baby tree frog

Question
I found what I think to be a baby tree frog(it is a little smaller than an inch) in my plant outside my apartment. When I first notice the frog it was bright green, now it is light brown. I wanted to know if it is safe outside? Should I take it to an animal hospital? Is it much work to have it as a house pet? I just don't want it to die.

Answer
Hi lg
Tree frogs often change from green to brown and can display other shades of color depending upon the species

Raising this baby would require lots of small insects and a secure enclosure

It should be fine on its own but I do believe that most of the tree frogs in the hobby are wild caught so there would not be much of a difference with you trying to raise this one or buying one from a pet store

I would do a lot of research on caring for tree frogs especially if you have never kept amphibians before this

Here is a link to a care sheet for them

Good Luck with whatever you decide to do
