Habitat and conservation

Feihyla vittiger occurs in vegetation surrounding ponds in mostly secondary montane forest at elevations of {{convert|950|–|1219|m|abbr=on}} above sea level; it can also be found in ponds near pine and tea plantations. Females lay their eggs on leaves overhanging ponds and attend to them until the eggs hatch into free-living tadpoles.

Feihyla vittiger can be locally common. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss caused by small-scale farming, provided that the vegetation surrounding ponds in the plantations is completely removed. It is present in a number of small protected areas and in the Mount Halimun Salak National Park.
