This frog has been found in paddy fields, perched on paddy plants, and on oil palm plantations. The frog has been observed between 191 and 400 meters above sea level.[1]

The species' breeding habits have yet to be observed, but scientists presume they lay eggs in streams and grow through larval development, like other frogs in Chirixalus.[1]

The IUCN classifies this frog as endangered because of its small range, which is undergoing continued degradation. Pesticides can also kill this frog.[1]
