Explanation:

To identify declarative sentences, we check if they make a statement (end with a period, not a question mark) and provide information about a subject. Let's analyze each:

1. "Have you ever heard of a red - eyed tree frog?" - This is a question (ends with?), so not declarative.
2. "Red - eyed tree frogs are small, colorful, musical frogs with big red eyes." - Makes a statement about red - eyed tree frogs, ends with a period. So it's declarative.
3. "Where do red - eyed tree frogs live?" - Question (ends with?), not declarative.
4. "They primarily live in South America, Central America, and parts of Mexico." - States where they live, ends with period. Declarative.
5. "They like lowland rainforests close to rivers and hills." - States their habitat preference, period at end. Declarative.
6. "How small are red - eyed tree frogs?" - Question (ends with?), not declarative.
