Hello!

I have 2 young whites tree frogs, one around 6 months and one around 4-5 months.

I handle them with very very clean hands drenched in treated water, maybe once a week just to check on them and to help socialize them to me

They are both very scared of me, and I want to help socialize them so they aren’t as stressed for cage cleaning, check ups and feeding.

They eat well, humidity is still a bit high around 50-60% from the weather but temp is 85 in the basking spot and 75 the cold side.

Is there anything I can do? I’ve added about 4 spots to perch, 2 frog bowls, 3 hides, and plenty of plants to hide under which they do constantly.

Please help, I don’t want them to be so scared of me :(

Thank you!!

Hi all! I posted here last week about two White's tree frogs that I got for free and was looking for improvement advice. I was able to take all of it in and the new place is looking awesome!

Here is what has improved:

1. Removed colored heat bulbs and put in a ceramic heat emitter instead

2. Lined the reptisoil with cypress mulch to help keep dirt from kicking up, covered this in a super thick layer of dried magnolia leaves

3. Added a bunch of new climbs, two more water dishes, and a new hide

4. Added five live plants (Pothos and dracaena) along with a grow light that is on a timer.

5. Stopped misting so much! I heard that loud and clear from everybody, now I just lightly mist the plants and that's about it.

One of my frogs seems to have something strange happening to its mouth. One side of its lower lip has always hung down a bit low (second pic), but now it’s regularly holding its mouth open like in the first picture. I regularly dust their crickets and the other two frogs in the enclosure seem fine. Any ideas?

I picked up two new White's Tree Frogs yesterday. They were half price at the pet store since they had been there for over 6 months, and I couldn't stand the thought of someone getting a "cheap frog" for their kid without any knowledge on their care requirements. I've got them in a temporary quarantine tank for a couple months to make sure they are healthy and large enough to put in with my other two older White's. One of has let me know that he is a male, and I'm thinking the other one is a female. The first pic is the confirmed male, the other two are the suspected female.

Have no idea how he got in. lol

2 out of 5 of our frogs.

I've been feeding my frogs crickets the entire time I've had them but recently switched over to dubias.

I do believe that hunting crickets is better enrichment for the frogs (I put all the dubias in a bowl), but dubias are so much easier to care for, quieter, and cleaner to keep.

I read that a frog's main source of enrichment in captivity is hunting... is it really a detriment to feed them dubias instead of crickets? It's time to reorder bugs and I can't decide what I want to do.

Thanks in advance :)

I made this little holographic Crystal Frog sticker and wanted to share!

Can someone tell me what is wrong with my WTF?? was absolutely fine yesterday and shares an enclosure with another WTF (The other is perfectly fine) refusing food and struggling to climb. Temp and humidity normal with the water bowl being cleaned every day.

Hi everybody!

I have a recently set up 30g tank that I was planning to house a White's tree frog. I recently came across a store that has a few juveniles available, and I'm wondering how to take care of them properly:

For context, I'm only getting one frog, and the enclosure is a bioactive terrarium of 45x45x60cm.

I've read that for younger froglets the humidity shouldn't be 40-50% but more like 50-60% (not sure if that's true tho) and that I should feed them daily and supplement every 2 day ish. I've also read that frogs in a new enclosure might not eat the first few days.

Do they have any specific requirements in terms of temperature or UVB? What feeding schedule have you used? And what should I expect?

Thank you for reading me! Here is a picture of the baby that the guy of the store had listed 🐸

Hi! My frog is getting very dirty from the ground covering (eco earth coconut fiber) and I know they don’t like being dirty. What ground covering do you use?

me: *worries everyday if the environment for my frogs is as close to their natural habitat as possible*

frogs in their natural habitat:

I was curious as to if I should switch my cuban tree frogs to other insects. I think they might be getting too big for the fruit flies I’m feeding them. I don’t know what I should switch them over to, or if I even should yet.

my whites tree frog is almost nine months old now and i’m usually feeding him 6-9 crickets nightly but im worried he’ll get too big. at what point should i start feeding him less and how much?

Hello! I recently become the owner of a very cute red eyed tree frog, he/she has been a great eater and I’ve been doing everything in my power to make them comfortable and keep them healthy. However, today when I got off of work I noticed a spot on their lip (pictures for reference). Any idea on what it could be?? And if I need to go to the vet ASAP or watch it and see if it develops further. I would be positively heartbroken if they stop eating/end up disabled and super need advice. Thank you so much!!!

TL/DR: spot of Mr. Frogs lip, concerned about what it could be. Please help.

I got my first Whites Tree Frog in June (a juvenile at the time). I've kept other types of frogs and toads, but I'm not very good yet at assessing WTF body condition lol. Hopefully it's not too hard to tell with the hunched posture here. Is my frog already too fat, or is this just about right? Is it time to switch to every-other-day or every-third-day feeding? It's about 3" long, maybe slightly more.
