[1] Bocage's tree frog is a ground-dwelling and largely burrowing species and thus easily overlooked outside the breeding season.

It breeds in temporary pools in the rainy season, the eggs being laid in a hole in the ground near the water's edge.

[3] Bocage's tree frog is a common species with a wide range and a presumed large total population, is able to adapt to habitats disturbed by man and faces no particular threats.
