Red-eyed tree frogs are native to tropical rainforests and can live 4–5 years or more in captivity. They are active frogs that thrive in small to moderate groups.

Enclosure: Provide a 10–15 gallon tank or larger, with a secure lid to prevent escapes. 

Humidity:  Maintain a humidity level of 60–80%. You can use a hygrometer to check the humidity level. To increase humidity, you can mist the enclosure, use a fogger, or cover part of the top with glass or saran wrap.

Temperature: During the day, the temperature should be 75–85° F (24–29° C). At night, the temperature should be 68–75° F (20–24° C). You can use a heat lamp above one end of the tank to create a temperature gradient.

Water: Provide a shallow water dish filled with dechlorinated water. The water should be no higher than the frog's nostrils. Change the water daily, as frogs often defecate in it. 
Lighting: Provide a light cycle of 10 hours of light and 14 hours of darkness. You can use an ultraviolet (UVB) light. 

Food: Feed young red-eyed tree frogs two to four crickets per night, along with a multivitamin and mineral supplement. You can also gut-load live food with an insect food before feeding it to your frog.

Enrichment: Provide branches for climbing and large pieces of cork bark for hiding. You can also add fake foliage like silk leaves.
