Thread: White tree frog seems lazy

    Default White tree frog seems lazy

    Hi everyone,

    I know wtfs are known to be quite lazy but one of mine has recently stopped eating and seems to be asleep quite often in the top of the vivarium.

    All the others are fine and eating well and I'm not too concerned yet but wondered if any of yours have had phases like too?

    Thanks, Hannah

    Default Re: White tree frog seems lazy

    Not eating is a sign he may be sick. I'd get him into quarantine (just a separate tank with paper towels on the bottom for easy cleaning) for observation. Does he move around when he's not sleeping? Does he do any climbing? Answering these questions will help people on the forum try to figure out what might be wrong.
