hey i was wondering is there anything i can use to stop my gtf from climbong up the glass incloser. just because there is a small gap at the tope and i coverer it with tape but it would be so much better if the frog couldnt get there in the first place so does anyone know? thanks. like can i use stickytape of some glue or something

I dont know how u can make it not climb the enclosure but make sure the frog cant touch the sticky side of the tape...

 

[richboy89]

ok cool thanks. why cant it touch the sticky side. is it because og the glue or just coz it can get stuck?

 

[grimbeny]

It can get stuck and then pull its skin off, not nice...

Its a bit hard to stop a tree frog from climbing.

Although you could ask it nicely.

 

[richboy89]

haha fulcon boy but i was thinking if there is anything that they cant grip onto.

they can grip to glass, they can grip on anything u put in there. try blocking the gap with something other than sticky tape. how big is the gap and how big is ur frog?

 

[richboy89]

the gape goes all around the outside. it is about 1cm wide. the guy in the pet shop said the encloser would be alright. never lissen to them again lol. i was hopping when they grow up they wont be able to fit threw the gapes. and the frog is about 5cm.

You can silicon a "ledge" or "lip" of glass around the edge that sticks out about 3 or 4 centimeters. The frogs tend to not be able to work out how to climb over it.

maybe that teflon paint? i've never used it in a frogs tank but it a strip of that might do the trick

just modify your screen top. you can build a new one for under $20
i just made one with a door for about $18 all material from bunnings.

yeah i made some mesh screen thingy and i think it all works good. thanks for your idears.
