    With the recent influx of White's Tree frogs or what AVA has term Green Tree frogs, I hope that new owners, soon to be new owners, old gurus and experienced members please keep in mind that yes they may be "rare" and "exotic" and yes they may be cute and fat, but they are still a pet. So please be a responsible pet owner, find out everything about them before you happily purchase 1 or 2 or 50 or if you have already purchased some and still half blur, please do not be shy to consult the many gurus and experienced members here or simply by google-ling about them.

    Never never release them into the wild as in most cases they will die on their own in the "wild" urbanized island of Singapore or worse still, become the "cane toads" of Singapore (which should not be a high possibility) but who's to say right?

    So if you ever grow tired of them, or for whatever reason want to give them up for sale or for adoption, there is always the buy/sell section for you to post in and I'm sure there're many other nice folks who are on the White's tree frogs waiting list so do give them a Private Message (PM).

    Lastly please be reminded to refrain from SMS lingo. Thanks!

    I would like to add on that these pets are not pets per say, and should be treated as terrarium subjects doted on by the owner.

    These are not hamsters, puppies, kittens and should not be treated as such.

    Repashy Calcium Plus is highly recommended...

    And per what bro delhezi mention about White's treefrog not being in the same league as small mammals like hamsters, puppies and kittens, they still do have their own individual character and personality which have made many grown men like us fall heads over heels over them (Eddy do have 50 frogs )

    Where do you guys get the housing for these beautiful frogs from, anyone can share?
    Fish keeping is not a good hobby unless you received support from your family to keep them.

    Hi bro Storm, if you mean their enclosure, you can either get a 3-4ft tank custom made or purchase an Exo Terra Vivarium or a Ocean Free Vivarium from some LFS.

    Hi was wondering if humidity levels in a tank and temperature is of high importance if we are living in Singapore?

    Re: Calling all White's Tree Frog Owners

    These treefrogs have known to adapt dry or wet habitats. They still prefer moist and humid environments. However, I believe the tree frogs' skin that can adjust to drier environments. Some of my few relatives who live Port Moresby (New Guinea), and Queensland (Australia) shared with me...during the hot and dry months, either the Whites or White Lipped will appear on the verandas of their homes, or actually enter other people's homes, while looking for moisture. That's reason, I can personally flew 20 pioneers home two years plus ago, with rich knowledge of how to keep the Whites effectively from my distant relative's experiences.
    That's why I encourage you the new proud owner of the White critters to either installs misting system( if you have a large palu like mine) or mist manually(flower sprayer or ironing sprayer ) once of twice a day. Please be caution , please use boiled water or mineral water to mist your critters. Tap water has high content of chlorine will rip your Whites skin to rot, that why I use R/O filter to rid of chlorine.
    cheers

    Re: Calling all White's Tree Frog Owners

    hi eddy, mine is a 45x45x60. i have yet to set up the palu yet. temperature-wise, reading from ur info i guess im ok. i will be doing manual misting daily instead once it is set up. one of the frog look thin though, i had to separate it into another place for feeding alone yesterday. kinda worried about it. 1 of them ate 5 and the other ate 2 only, then it didnt want to eat.

    Hi lopches,

    Thanks for your kind feedback...

    Do show me the picture of your Whites's current habitat and your Whites with you holding with your palm, too? From there I can be able to advise you straight away without guessing. Please do not be so worried about your Whites as they are relatively easy to keep.
    If your Whites are the young ones which as big as fifty cents, then you need to get smaller crickets or mini mealworms in the tank at night so that they could catch more if they were still hungry while also practicing their hunting skills. This seemed to do the trick as they are all hunting on their own.
    If one of your White still not eating, maybe the White didn't learn the right instinct, then another method is spot- feeding( tweeter hold cricket close to it mouth) . Please do not use stainless steel tweeter for your aquatic planting to feed them, the White will jump to the feed and the sharp tip of the stainless steel tweeter will accidentally poke inside their mouth. Hence you need to use plastic tweeter with a blunt tip to prevent injure the Whites.

    hope this will help you..
    cheers

    i guess they are about 5.5cm in body length. i'll change the tweeter to a plastic one, so far only 1 has eaten from the tweeter once. i will take a picture of them tonight to show you their sizes.

    Ifan,

    If don't have any Repashy calcium icb from the link I show you, then you can obtain from PetMart.

    I store Repashy Calcium on top of my palu...no necessary to put it in a fridge.

    You got very beautiful young Whites..they will grow well in few months time.
    cheers
