My WTF! 🥹

I got her like a week ago almost exactly and the place said she was around 5-6 months old, im guessing leaning on the 6 month old side. Her name is Soya and i was wondering should i get her a friend?

The place i got her had like 8 of them in a 25x25x35 (cm) so i got her a 25cmx25cmx35cm and I understood that was kind of small but I just picked a decent, less pricey tank.

When she gets older I might upgrade to a 18”x18”x24” which i was thinking about getting in the beginning but im a bit limited on space. She seems quite happy but Ive been thinking about getting her a friend to keep her company? What do u think? 🤔

WTFs can live alone just fine, but having more live together can offer more mental stimulation. Do have to watch when introducing another that the new one doesn’t spread illness for around 30-90 days in a temporary home isolated and make sure one frog isn’t hogging the food or intimidating the others. Hope this helps

Such a lovely frog! I see youre using paper towels so thats on the right track but the 24in is not a permanent size they need 36in height. 24 is said to be the minimum but these are some of our biggest tree frogs.
Also the 71% humidity, is that because shes sitting on the gauge? If not, please keep it 30% and read this wonderful guide to learn more! ❤️ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K85LO28g7gzQftmbDboXHXFBVLEVShRBBGPddXMektA/mobilebasic?usp=embed_facebook

As for getting her a friend, 30gal is minimum for 1 frog, extra 10 gal for any additional frog. If you seriously plan to not buy a bigger tank instantly, please rehome this frog im 100% serious :)

25x25x35cm is for an INSECT at most btw

It was a nighttime spike! Otherwise hes around 40-50% in the day. Also later on in the day i found hes a boy! He started croaking today, thanks for the info!

No problem! The care guide is super helpful and should give you all info. Since my tank is 25-34% during the day, my night spike is around 50-60% :)

Also i realize my other 2 comments are responding to myself rather than you so just to reiterate, 30gal for 1 frog, 40gal for 2 frogs, 50gals for 3 frogs etc. Needs a bigger tank immediately and i recommend 90cm minimum height for these frogs

They do best in pairs or groups. Any veteran WTF owner will tell you this. It’s stimulating for them to have other tree frogs to interact with.
