I just got a Whites Tree Frog (he is blue) for my son (he is 6). Frog is named Fritz.
Issue is, I am reading so much and there is so much conflicting information on caring for this frog. Here is what is keeping me nocturnal, along with Fritz.
1. Pet Store sold me a horizontal 10 gallon tank. Now, I am reading this is an issue. It doesn't seem to be right now (Fritz is small and a hider). How do I know when this is a problem?
2. I do not want to be a cricket keeper. Fritz has been gobbling up small mealworms with seemingly no issue. Is it OK to add crickets 1X/week and do worms the rest? Or any other bugs/worms I should add without cultivating or breeding?
3. The tank is a toasty 85 degrees thanks to warm climate and a heating pad. Do frogs need a special light or will the room light do during the day if we keep him warm? Do they actually require a night light?
4. Should we be handling Fritz or letting him be? He does not like to be taken out and tries to hop away.
5. Cleaning the tank -- just water or bleach and thorough rinse?
I am sure this is all covered but would like to hear from all of you. Thank you!
