A Dedicated Feeding & Observation Space for Frogs You Already See
The Wild Light Feeder is designed for homes where frogs already appear — climbing near porch lights, gathering on windows, or hunting insects along exterior walls at night.
Rather than leaving frogs to cling to glass or siding, the Wild Light Feeder provides a stable, intentional place to hunt, giving frogs better footing and brief cover while offering homeowners a clearer, more predictable place to observe them.
This is not a full habitat or shelter.
It is a focused conservation tool designed to support natural feeding behavior.
Available for preorder.
Expected delivery: Spring 2026.
What the Wild Light Feeder Provides
The Wild Light Feeder is a simplified, habitat-inspired structure designed to work alongside existing home lighting patterns.
It includes:
- Insect-attracting UV lights that draw natural prey without bait or refills
- A small dome and deck system that provides momentary cover and stable footing while frogs hunt
- An elevated, predictable feeding location that reduces random wall and window activity
- Low-impact exterior lighting that allows for in-person nighttime observation
- Preset lighting cycles that operate automatically without apps or connectivity
The feeder functions quietly and consistently once installed.
How Frogs Use the Wild Light Feeder
Many frogs already hunt near artificial lights. The Wild Light Feeder gives them a better place to do so.
While the dome may occasionally provide brief cover, it is not intended as a daytime shelter. Frogs may visit the structure opportunistically during feeding hours and move on as they normally would.
As more Wild Light Feeders are deployed, continued observation will help refine how frogs interact with this type of structure over time.
Designed for Window, Wall, or Porch Placement
The Wild Light Feeder is ideal for mounting near areas where frogs already appear naturally.
It works especially well:
- Near porch lights or exterior fixtures
- On walls or windows where frogs regularly climb
- Along shaded sides of the home with insect activity
By giving frogs a stable platform instead of bare surfaces, the feeder improves both feeding efficiency for frogs and viewing clarity for people.
Who This Product Is For
The Wild Light Feeder is ideal for:
- Homeowners who already see frogs at night
- Families who enjoy observing wildlife near the home
- People looking for a simple way to support frogs without installing a full habitat
- Frog Fortress owners who want to add a dedicated feeding location
It works on its own or alongside a full Froggy Fort.
A Natural Entry Point Into Backyard Conservation
The Wild Light Feeder offers a simple way to support frogs today — and for many people, it becomes the first step toward deeper habitat restoration.
For frogs that need shelter, water access, and long-term refuge, full Froggy Fort habitats provide a more complete solution.
Installation
Installation is simple and requires no tools.
Mount the feeder near an exterior light source, window, or wall where frogs already appear. Once installed, the system operates automatically during evening hours.

Installation Instructions for Froggy Forts Ground Version
Materials Needed:
- Froggy Forts Ground Version
- Shovel (optional for leveling ground)
- Native plants, rocks (optional for decoration and habitat enhancement)
- Small water feature (optional, but highly recommended)
Installation Steps:
-
Choose a Location:
- Select a level area in your yard, such as a garden bed, near bushes, or under trees. Ensure the location provides shade and isn’t exposed to direct sunlight, as frogs prefer cooler, darker spots during the day.
- Optional: If the ground is uneven, use a shovel to level the area before placing the fort.
-
Position the Frog Fortress:
- Gently place the Froggy Forts Ground Version on the level ground. Ensure it sits flat and stable.
-
Enhance the Surroundings:
- Plant native species around the Frog Fortress to create a natural, welcoming environment for frogs and other wildlife.
- Add rocks around the fort to provide additional cover and hiding spots for amphibians. If you’d like to go a step further, consider adding a small water feature—frogs love having access to water, and this addition would make them very, very happy!
-
Select Ideal Spots:
- Position the Frog Fortress near garden plants or under shrubs to give frogs a place to hide and stay cool during the day. Avoid placing it in areas prone to direct sunlight.
-
Maintain and Monitor:
- Check the fort occasionally for cleanliness and water levels. Clean the water features and hiding spots as needed to maintain a healthy environment for your frogs.
Adding a water feature alongside the rocks and plants will make your Frog Fortress an even more attractive habitat for frogs, giving them a refreshing place to cool off and breed.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning & Maintenance
To maintain a healthy environment for your tree frogs in the Frog Fortress, regular cleaning and disinfection are essential. Follow these directions to keep the Frog Fortress clean and safe without using harmful chemicals.
Cleaning Frequency:
- Recommended Weekly Cleaning: Clean the Frog Fortress thoroughly once a week to prevent bacteria and mold growth.
Materials Needed:
- Mild, frog-safe disinfectant (such as a reptile-safe cleaner)
- Dechlorinated water
- Soft brush or sponge
- Clean cloth or paper towels
Cleaning Steps:
- Prepare the Cleaning Area:
- Gather all cleaning materials and prepare a space to temporarily house your frogs while cleaning.
- Remove Frogs - Carefully:
- Carefully remove the frogs with as little stress as possible. Upon opening the Frog Fortress, a little noise or soft touch will prompt them to hop out of the Fort.
- Remove any decorations, plants, and the sponge from the Frog Fortress.
- Drain Water and Disassemble:
- Empty any water from the wading pools or other areas.
- Disassemble any removable parts of the Frog Fortress to clean each component thoroughly.
- Prepare Cleaning Solution:
- Mix a mild, frog-safe disinfectant with warm water according to the product instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaps that could harm the frogs.
- Clean the Frog Fortress:
- Scrub all plastic surfaces of the Frog Fortress with the cleaning solution using a soft brush or sponge. Focus on areas with visible dirt, algae, or residue.
- Pay special attention to corners and crevices where bacteria and mold can accumulate.
- Rinse Thoroughly:
- Rinse all parts of the Frog Fortress thoroughly with clean, dechlorinated water to remove any traces of the cleaning solution.
- Ensure no residue remains, as it can be harmful to your frogs.
- Clean the Sponge and Decorations:
- Rinse the sponge in dechlorinated water and soak it in the mild disinfectant solution. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
- Clean any decorations with the same solution and rinse well. Artificial plants can be scrubbed, while live plants should be gently rinsed to avoid damage.
- Reassemble and Refill:
- Reassemble the Frog Fortress and fill the wading pools with fresh, dechlorinated water.
- Place the cleaned sponge back into the habitat.
- Return the Frogs:
- Once the Frog Fortress is clean and reassembled, the frogs will likely return during the evening as it gets dark.
Additional Tips:
- Monitor Water Quality: Regularly check the water quality in the wading pools and change it if it appears dirty or cloudy.
- Maintain Proper Ventilation: Ensure the Frog Fortress has adequate ventilation to reduce humidity and prevent mold growth.
By following these directions, you can keep the Frog Fortress clean and safe for your frogs, providing them with a healthy and enjoyable environment.
Why Habitat Matters
Frogs depend on a delicate balance of water, shelter, insects, and temperature stability. In many neighborhoods, these conditions have been disrupted by development, drainage, and the loss of natural microhabitats.
Even small, well-designed habitat features can help restore what has been lost - creating places for frogs to rest, hydrate, feed, and recover.
Froggy Forts are designed to integrate into these backyard ecosystems, supporting native frogs where people live.
Let Nature Lead
Essential Froggy Forts are designed to work quietly in the background — providing shelter, water access, and natural feeding opportunities without requiring attention or interaction.
There are no screens, controls, or alerts. Once installed, the habitat becomes part of the landscape, allowing frogs to use it on their own terms and on their own schedule.
