    UVB is considered to be beneficial for this species and it will be exposed to it in the wild. Practical pet keeping series: amphibians has a care article and it recommends it and so does Exo Terra http://www.exo-terra.com/en/explore/uv_rating_index.php

    A heat lamp is also important though so it can bask, so you'll need to provide both

    depends what size of tank you have and the temps needed but you shouldn't need a high wattage lamp as remember the frog can go real close to it if it needs. I would just use a 25w incandescent such as the zoo med daylight bulbs or the exo terra daytime lamps 15-25w. I'd imagine halogens would only be needed in very large enclosures

    Give the frog some more time to settle. Because White's tree frogs are captive bred there's probably not going to be parasites or any other disease, not saying it's not possible but less likely. If the frog was going to starve it won't still starve even if you brought it to the vet because it takes time for fecals to come back and to actually treat the frog. However I think I read that frogs can adapt their metabolism to suit the availability of prey and temps. The most important thing is to make sure conditions are right. Also feed at night, remember the frog is nocturnal

    Have you got a book on the care? It's always useful as you can make sure conditions are 100% and they usually have a health care bit in it aswell. Two good books are Tree frogs by Devin Edmonds and then practical pet series amphibians. Should be able to get the first on the iTunes Store and the second on the practical pet keeping magazine app for iPhone, both are pretty cheap and include the care of other frogs aswell

    Arg i hate to be the one... does your froggy still move around like normal or is it lethargic? Weve had a few whites from various stores that CAME TO ME FROM THE STORE with mbd from the jump. It was almost enough to make me sell all my herps till the vet said bad care before my purchase was to blame.

    I doubt it's MBD but just stress, although the amount of pet stores selling frogs that appear to have MBD is ridiculous
