    Default Questions about growth.

    Hello everyone! My white's tree frogs have been doing nicely for all the time i had them. But there is always the question in the back of my head, are they too small for their age?! I have had them for almost eleven months now. They were a little over an inch. Now they are 2 3/4 inches and approaching the three inch mark. Are they growing properly? How much should i feed them? I feed about 4-6 medium sized crickets every other day. Thanks everyone!

    Oh yes! They attack with a passion. And when they hunt. They are always hyper afterwards!

    I don't think you should worry then. They aren't underweight, have plenty of space plenty of food. Have you figured out if they're m/f yet?

    Angus is definitely a male. He gets annoying after a while! Agnes is almost certainly a female. Although there is no sure fire way to tell without breeding.

    I'm good, thanks for asking . Been really busy lately. But i check the forum when i get a chance. Preparing for a big concert mostly. My clarinet must sound pretty bad since Angus thinks it's another frog!

    How and with what do you feed crickets? Are you using supplements and how? Tried feeding roaches ?
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Sometimes i let them hunt on their own. But i mostly use forceps to feed them. I dust them almost every feeding most of the time with calcium+d3 and once a week with multivitamin poweder. I bought roaches once, they quickly ended up dead at the hands of my mother.

    I bought some roaches and they're hidden right now. Not that it matters, my tree frogs won't eat them anyway!
