Well it would be easiest if you described what you are currently doing with them. Describe their tank, what and how you feed them. Also if you have any direct questions be free to ask.
Hi all Im new here and was just wondering if any of you have any useful information on these frog I know I have the right set up and temp and humidity. I have had many exotic pet's and have read alot of info on these beautiful frogs. But I always find it more useful to talk to people who are keen hobbyist.
So feel free to send me a message as all are welcome I will post some pics of my four new babies.
Many Thanx

Sorry didnt think of that,
there around 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in size I have them in a 90 ltr corner tank with a mesh top.
Im useing a non chemical compost and living moss topping with a shallow bathing spot there temp is at around 80-85 d during the day and around 75-70 d during the night, I have a piece of driftwood and and branches in the tank (petshop brought) They are feeding on medium brown crickets oh and the tank is around 20 inchs in height. I am planning on upgrading the tank with the next few month's..
The only thing Im not to sure on is the humidty its around 45% at the mo as I keep reading diffrent books and getting diffrent answers.
Many thanx

Oh and sorry this is only the second day I have had them and going by what my petshop said about the size cricket they seem a little big to me but there all feeding on them as far as I can tell.
Thanx again Aaron
I think what you are doing is fine.
I have just got two baby White's and amazed at the size of crickets they can actually eat! (And the amount!) Mine are a similar size to yours.
The humidity could be better, but its not that critical. White's are adapted to many kinds of ecosystems throughout the eastern half of Australia.
Yeah more of a 60-70% humidity.
Ah thanx for all your feedback I have never kept frogs before and would hate to think I have not provided the right set up for them. Wasn't planning on buying four of them was only going to buy the 2 then noticed there was one left and felt sorry for the little fellah. But as the petshop owner was catching them me other half noticed the forth and decided to buy it without me knowing.
There is two more Question can I put Devils Ivy in the tank with them as I have noticed pet shops near me tend to use them for other tropical frogs? Oh also is it ok to use a low wattage blue light during the night periods (Above the tank).
Thanks for all your help,
Aaron
The frogs don't really need a night light, but if you want to use one for observational purposes, then go for it.
Also can I feed them on baby stick insects and fruit beetle lava as I have started to breed them to feed me other pets?
thnx
Aaron
Is the blue light better or should I use the infa red night light like the ones used for Tarantulas?
For viewing the best I have seen is a combination of blue and green LEDs
Stick bugs? This is interesting I have never heard of them as feeders
But fruit beetle larva I have heard of being used but I doubt (don't quote me on this) they have a great nutritional value.
If you are feeding them to other animals without problem, then I don't see why not.
Hmm if you made a thread in feeders about this I would greatly enjoy it. How do you keep them? How big do they get?
One thing that scarred me when i just got my frog was when i looked at him his skin seemed to be falling off. i had no idea they shedded call me stupid but it freeked me out.
