🐸 MYTH vs FACT: Peron’s Tree Frogs

❌ MYTH: Tree frogs only need a small enclosure because they don’t move much.

✅ FACT: Peron’s Tree Frogs are surprisingly active, especially after dark. They love to climb, jump and explore, so a tall enclosure with plenty of branches, plants and hiding spots is essential for keeping them happy.

They also have one of the coolest party tricks in the frog world, their eyes can develop a stunning silver, web-like pattern that almost looks like they’re wearing tiny lace curtains!

Have you ever seen a Peron’s Tree Frog up close? They’re even more impressive in person.

Not all reptiles have the same nutritional needs and feeding the right diet can make a big difference to their long-term health.

Just like cats and dogs, reptiles have different dietary requirements depending on the species. Some are insectivores, some are carnivores, others are omnivores, and turtles have their own unique nutritional needs too.

Choosing food that’s designed for your reptile’s natural diet can help support:
🦎 Healthy growth
🐢 Strong bones and shell development
🦗 Good muscle condition
🌿 Overall health and wellbeing

It’s also worth remembering that no single food is a complete replacement for a varied, species-appropriate diet. Think of prepared diets as one part of a well-balanced feeding plan, alongside fresh foods and correct husbandry.

Every reptile is different, so if you’re ever unsure what your scaly friend should be eating, we’re always happy to help point you in the right direction.

Charlie raided the winter wardrobe and now refuses to take the beanie off. We can’t decide if he’s a fashion icon or just very cosy.

Now it’s your turn! Drop a photo in the comments of your pet dressed up in their favourite outfit, costume, jumper, bandana or hat. We want to see everyone’s cutest, funniest and most stylish looks! 🐾

You know that feeling when someone opens food nearby and suddenly you’re very interested in what they’re doing?

Apparently guinea pigs know it too. 😂🐹
