Hi, maybe you might want to share some pictures of the conditions you keep them in? What did you buy to feed them?

White's diet can consist of mealworms, crickets and roach (which are all available at LFS). They need moist and high humid yet airy cool conditions. They are nocturnal, so usually feeding at night is better. Their eyes are sensitive to bright light. So try to give them more hiding space to shy away from direct light. For a start you can try crickets.

Target feed them with a tweezer/thong, don't just dump the crickets all over inside the tank. As the crickets will go hide or chew your background if you happen to use foam background, or worst they might bite your frogs.

Do leave a bowl of water in the tank so they can soak in the pool as and when they need to moist the skin.
Hope what I shared is helpful, I personally kept a pair for more than 2yrs, they are easy and tame pets. Hope you enjoy keeping them too.
