Looking good! Get some more sturdy branches in there if you can and utilize that vertical space. Are they eating well? They are pretty skinny.

Yeah I plan on cranking the entire enclosure with vines, branches, and sturdy plants. I just got them today but so far they're eating very well.

Enclosure looks nice, now you need to work on fattening your frogs. Crickets should be sized smaller than distance between frog's eyes and gut fed carrots, lettuce, and cherios cereal. Also need to use supplements, more info on that in here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html.

Here is a good care article for them: Frog Forum - White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea.

Next time, recommend you quarantine any new frogs to prevent any health issues to spread to enclosure and any other frogs/amphibians you might keep. Good luck !

Congrats on your new Whites, your enclosure is looking good!

Hey Carlos, looking at these pictures my new Whites are on the thin side too. First week I had them, the pet store gave me 30 fairly small crickets, they ate them all in a week. This week, I have been feeding them small amounts daily (2-4 large crickets) since I didn't want to just start gorging them on food. I am using Repashy Tree Frog Calcium + Vitamins, you ever use this product? Do I need vitamins + this product? It seemed like an "all in one". Should I up the feeding? I am not sure how "fat" WTF should be.

How many roughly should I be feeding them? I know they just eat until there is no more. I have 3 frogs, gave them ten crickets last night and they ate all of them lol. More or less?

Large crickets? How often are you feeding?

[thequeenoftimeandspace]

Small since my guys are still on the small side. This is day two, assuming they're juvenile based off of their size.

If you follow the guideline of keeping their crickets no larger than the distance between their eyes you'll have the proper sized insects. Too large of crickets can lead to rectal prolapse. It's better to feed a few more little ones than larger ones. Even my big old red eyes are fed only 1/2 to 3/4" crickets. The smaller crickets have softer bodies and legs also.

Whites are great eaters. You can feed them daily as babies. Adults should only eat every couple of days or they may become obese. Babies and juveniles should have nice round tummies but they should not be obese.

Be sure to read the care sheet . They need a ambient tank temp and a corner basking area to digest nicely. Be sure to also do every other day calcium with vitamin D3 dustings and a weekly multivitamin dusting to keep them healthy.

Cute little ones you've gotten . Welcome to the forum!
