Ghana Reed Frogs, also commonly known as African Reed Frogs, are small, attractive arboreal frogs belonging to the genus Hyperolius. Native to tropical regions of Africa, these frogs are known for their slender build, large eyes, adhesive toe pads, and attractive coloration and patterns. Adults generally remain quite small, typically reaching approximately 1–2 inches in length, making them an excellent choice for keepers looking to create a lush, planted tropical terrarium.
Ghana Reed Frogs are primarily nocturnal and spend much of their time climbing among vegetation, branches, reeds, and other elevated surfaces. They thrive in vertically oriented enclosures with plenty of live or artificial plants, vines, branches, and hiding areas. Moderate to high humidity, regular misting, good ventilation, and access to clean water are important for maintaining proper hydration and overall health. They are insectivores and readily feed on appropriately sized live prey including small crickets, fruit flies, small roach nymphs, and other suitable feeder insects.
