    Question Aging my new Australian White's Tree Frog

    Hey guys,

    Newer to the frog scene, but have done some extensive research on tree frogs. My roommate and I just adopted a couple, but we're not sure when they will reach their 'adult phase', therefore not knowing when to start changing their feeding habits.

    Does anyone have a general idea of the age of a white's tree frog that is about 4.5 centimeters or 1.8 inches long? As of now, we're guessing they might be around 3-4 months old? I know there can be certain factors that contribute to different growth rates, but among all of the breeders in the community, I'm sure someone has a good averaged estimate of what about 2 inches is aged at.

    Cheers

    Hello Jabba015, Welcome to the forum Whites tree frogs are a larger frog and will get around 3.5 inches body wise from snout to vent. the frogs will most likely get to their adult size at around 6-8 months or even sooner if they are being fed more often. Im not a breeder of whites but i have worked with them for a long time. 2 inches sounds like the frog is roughly around 2-3 months old? im not too sure. They should be fed a couple crickets every other day until they are use to their new home

    Mr. Bombina,

    By the looks of things you have experience, but I'm curious about your statement regarding WTFs reaching maturity at 6-8 months. Most other sources online state that full maturity comes around 2 years, would you agree/disagree with this? By the looks of it, they've barely grown in a months time, so if I were to extrapolate the growth rate of what I've seen to maybe be around 1-3mm, they would in no way reach full size in the next 6 months.

    Cheers

    Hi, Ryan didnt say they reach maturity at 6-8 months he said that they reach adult size at that age. Though in my experience they seem to reach adult size at around a year, give or take.
