Hi Lou. Please forgive the length of this, I want to be sure you have all the info. I received my first beautiful little Dumpy frog approximately 24 hours ago and she/he has not moved from the spot she landed in when I put her in her enclosure. She has buried herself in the leaf litter with only her eyes peeking out and there appears to be a film over them at all times. I know they have 3 lids and will close all or some when they feel they’re in danger and sleeping obviously, but the only other things in her enclosure are springtails and isopods and I’ve yet to see her eyes clear. I was able to get her to take one cricket last night when I stayed up late to observe her, but when I offered more she just kept turning away in her own 2 inch circle and refused any more. She allowed me to pick her up and hold her briefly, but if it’s just stress I certainly don’t want to stress her any more. I’ve done all my homework and more regarding care with a temp gradient, humidity level, enclosure set up, etc. I’m truly concerned. because I’ve read several reviews about the company I got her from and every one states how active, inquisitive, healthy, etc., the animals are right out of the box and she is the exact opposite. I understand some take a little longer to acclimate, but I’m not exaggerating when I say she hasn’t moved from that one spot in almost 24 hours. I know they’re nocturnal so I didn’t get too worried until I observed her many (many) times throughout the night and she was still in that one spot. I’m sick with worry. Thank you very much.

Hi there! Just found your channel as I’m looking into getting 2-3 of these lil guys. I’ve been fostering injured/sick frogs and toads for over a year now and have been studying herpetology on my own time for longer and I think it’s time for me to find some babies to keep full time as well. I have been looking into Whites specifically and this video was very very helpful! I haven’t cared for this breed before but I have for Cubans, Southern Leopards and American Greens. I’ve definitely cared for more toads than frogs though so my knowledge is more extensive with toads. Do you have a video with recommended products with links or anything? I obviously want to do this right and give them the best life possible! You just seem incredibly knowledgeable and I would really really love to hear your recommendations. I can message you on social media if you’d like instead. Thank you so much in advance if you are able to get back to me!🙏🏼 Keep doin yo thang and educating the public about these beautiful creatures!

I'm kinda scared about the insects stuff, do you think I really need to breed crickets at home or can I just buy them like every week? And what about the bioactive cleaning crew? I'm building a terrarium with real plants, drainage layer and stuff and I was wondering if you think I should add them to the enclosure and just overcome my fear of insects running all around my room or maybe I can wait at least till I get confident with feeding crickets and worms...

Breeding crickets can be a bit tricky so buying them weekly isn’t a problem at all! As for the clean up crew, I would definitely recommend getting some! They mostly stay hidden and the chances of them escaping into your room are very slim. If you can, I would let the clean up crew establish a colony before adding any frogs so that they don’t all get eaten right away 😂 It gets easier over time to handle bugs and before you know it you’ll be handling them no problem!

Do you have to have living plants for the enclosure or can you have fake plants? Because I'm not that good at keeping plants alive

i was wondering if i got 2 grown whites tree frogs how many gallons would they need because mine is a baby rn i've had for what 2 years? 3? something around that but if he was an adult how many gallons would they both need? just wondering because i'm questioning if i wanna get another one so he's more comfortable and i have done research it's just that they always talk about like bigger the better or just talk about having one not 2 :/ if you could answer that would be great but it's fine if you can't or won't.

i just adopted two baby wtfs and during the day they ALWAYS are buried under the moss and substrate we have. i have a 55 gallon tank so it’s really big for them considering they are small still but it really makes me nervous google says it’s the humidity is low but i most them and keep the humidity around 80-90 most of the time. i know they are nocturnal but is this normal? and will they grow out of it? or is there something i can do?

I'm curious about handling them. I've seen people holding them without doing anything. I was told to wash my hands twice with dawn dish soap and leave my hands wet and I saw a video where the lady said always wear gloves. So....which is correct?

Hey, I just got two 3ish month old white tree frogs. They’re a little bit different in size but not too much. The bigger one ate 6 crickets in one day and the smaller one only at 2. Now with the bigger one I can just pick a cricket up with tweezers and he’ll eat it. But with the smaller one e won’t eat out of the tweezers and I have to put him in a small container and put a couple of crickets in. But he kinda doesn’t really eat much. Can u maybe tell me why or is the food maybe to big? Pls tell me ❤

Should they be fed in the day or night hours?

This is helpful because I want white tree frogs and my friend said they would buy them some for coffee in return (PS THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR COFFEE) soooo imma get some. my dad said I don't need them but I say I do. but i will need a job to buy the needed things..... I'll figure that out later.

get the largest size you can afford currently - if you get a smaller setup you will end up spending way more money buying another setup when they get bigger, especially if things like the heating equipment or uvb lights are sized for a smaller enclosure. just make sure to have the enclosure fully set up and essentially running for a few days before adding the frogs, since it can be difficult to really tune in on the humidity and heat and you dont want the frogs to dry out or get too cold

A container with small holes for ventilation makes a great home for crickets. Paper towel on the bottom with empty toilet paper rolls or egg cartons for hiding spaces.

There are also cricket keepers sold at most pet stores, although they are quite small.

I have a 50w uv light and turn it off at night for them. They need temps between 65-85 so it’s worked well for me. I also have a relatively small tank considering they’re babies still. Hope this helps.

I have two whites tree frogs, when I got them one was significantly smaller than the other so I have kept them in two separate tanks but now they seem to be around the same size so I’m planning on putting them together. Do you have any recommendations on putting my frogs together? One of my frogs is very food motivated and friendly, the other is food motivated too but will go and hide right after I feed it and tends to be more shy. I am slightly worried about how feeding them together will go and I am worried the shy one will be afraid of the other one so I wanted to ask for advice. Also, I use UVB for my frogs both but don’t use a heat bulb since my house actually stays around the temp that’s good for them. Im going to college soon though and was looking to buy a heat bulb just in case conditions aren’t the same there. Do you have recommendations for wattage and brand?

for heat you have to look at the wattage and size of your cage (HEIGHT) because it'll obviously be weaker the higher up the bulb. Mine is 24 inches high and I use a 50 Watt heat lamp because it's what works for me, but 75 watts would still be within the safe temperature range of my cage as well

Hi, I know this video was kinda a while ago so you may not respond but I wanted to try anyway. I've had my white's tree frog for about 2-3 months now and I am starting to get a little concerned. She is not active at all, not croaking, doesn't eat very often, but her body shape is normal, no redness, no spotting, but she is always brown. Her natural color is a light green but whenever she is in her enclosure, she is brown. When I take her out she becomes more green. I just don't really know what I am doing wrong. I am attempting to feed her everyday, Her temperature is around 23 degrees celsius, her humidity is 55-60%, her enclosure is full of plants, things she can climb on, and a water dish. The water dish is a little shallow but I don't know if that is necessarily a problem. Anyway, I am just asking for a little advice on how I can make her feel less stressed, move around more, be a color of a frog, and just do more.. frog things.

Hi! It seems like you really love your froggy friend and have provided a great home. I have a few questions to hopefully help figure out what’s going on. The first is, are you noticing any poops around the enclosure? If so, this is a great indicator that she is in fact eating. Due to frogs being nocturnal, you may not notice any activity unless you’re up really early in the morning or check in late at night. Females typically are much more quiet than their male counterparts, so if she is female she won’t be croaking all that much. As far as colour goes, whites tree frogs do change colours quite often depending on activity level, temperature, whether they’re sleeping, and a whole range of other reasons. For example, I notice that early in the mornings, Relish is much darker than he would be when he’s more awake at night. Something I like to do, is weigh my pets once a month. I use a kitchen scale and keep track in a notebook. I refer back to previous weights to see if anything has changed. This is another good way to ensure they’re eating and growing! If you do notice any serious changes or you’re still concerned, I’d recommend looking into what exotic vets are available in your area and what they specialize in. Hope this helped a little bit!
