Calling all White's Tree Frog Owners

[ellipseoffset]

Hi all,

Can i check with you guys with misting system are you all using? where did you get it from and how much?

[UnderWaterWorld]

Hello all,

I have bought two WTFs over the weekend.

Also saw on this thread that some of you have used oak bark or cocopeat as the bedding substrate. How often do you change this out? Hope the poop won't make the enclosure smell.

Is the cocopeat bought from local plant nurseries? Any pretreatment before use?

Thanks!

I am feeding the frogs with live crickets at the moment. Wonder if they will take dead ones that were frozen? My wife and kids cant deal with live crickets

Frogs normally eat moving objects, maybe you can try wriggling the dead cricket when feeding them. They might eat it.

Do not feed dead crickets that have been out for too long. Nutrients are lost, not that crickets have much to begin with though.

I guess if he keeps them frozen, then relatively little nutrients will be lost.

Hi Folks

No matter how you try to feed the Whites frozen or dead crickets ..you will never be successful. Hence try Superworm but you have to place the Super wriggler in front of the Whites and bingo!

Hi Eddy, actually above is a video of someone training his white's tree frog to eat pellets, and he has achieved some success.

[delhezi]

Whoever that individual is should not deserve to keep frogs. Fish pellets are a silly, incomplete food for frogs.

I see he's from Singapore. One less step towards legalisation of the herp trade.

Hi folks

That's a good trick, if you got the time, then do it! I wonder if i can do on my nearly 50 Whites, sighs...I don't have the time in the world. However, try not feeding your Whites with pellets too much, their stomach is not ready to digest
hard pellets, lah.

[cbong]

Thanks everyone for the tips. I will give the super worm a try this weekend

[Hyde82]

Just wondering, how often do you guys change your bedding in the tank? I maintain my tank daily by checking for froggie poop and removing them, however I'm starting to see small flies in my tank after 1 month. Do you guys have the same problem?

[cherabin]

The pellet feeding is truely uncalled for. The least a frog keeper should do is to cater to the specific diet of the critters.

by the way if i add in newts will the tree frogs be tempted to eat them? its those 5 dollar type of salamander(or newt... don't know what it is classify as.. uh.. the one in Vinz display picture kekekee)

[David Moses Heng]

AVA has revoked the permit for White tree frogs as off last week.
