Sick white tree frog

[mandysutton82]

Everyday I come home thinking he'll be dead but he is always alive and just sittin in the same spot. I know he'll eventually die if nothing changes. I just hate seein him suffer and not know what to do. How long will he suffer for if the condition of him don't change. I just wish he either get better or hurry up and die. I don't want it to die at all. But I just feel so bad for it.

I would leave him be, just make sure he has food and water. what is the temp usually at? Also, I have never heard of a white tree frog. White's tree frogs are pretty common in the pet trade though. He could live a while or short amount of time if he doesn't eat. Stress can severely kill a frogs appetite, and new habitat+ numerous other changes = stress. Like I said, I would leave him for a few days without changing anything. Make sure he has appropriate sized crickets (No bigger than the space between his eyes) and a water dish with water. Make sure no lights other than the red bulb are on after dark, 12 hours on/ 12 hours off is a good day/night cycle. Also, dust his crickets with vitamin/ calcium powder wiht vitamin D3, this can be obtained at most pet stores. Petsmart's employees are generally not very knowledgable in the ways of their animals, so take their advice with a grain of salt. Like I said, Picture can help very much, because we can see the frogs condition. Have you read any care articles about your frog yet? If not google some, they help a lot. Lemme know if you have any other questions.

Lol I get on the internet everyday reading everything I can find on tree frogs. I did dust the crickets with the calcium powder. I'm just hoping the he'll eat them and start moving around. I just been touching him cuz I always think he is dead and want to make sure he is still alive. I will def leave him alone for a few days. During the day I was keeping his temps at 75 to 80 and at night letting it drop down to like 65. Tonight is the first night with the red bulb. I guess time will tell.

Alright. I have no clue what kind of frog that is...It resembles a green tree frog, almost, but the color is almost white lol. I hope John or Don or someone else more knowledgeable than me. What room is he in? It's always good to put frogs in a room with as little foot traffic as possible, it's another cause of stress. I hope he/she starts eating soon. Good job dusting them.

So sad to say he died not even an hour ago. Never thought I could be so sad over a frog. But since I have spent so much money tryont to get him everything he needs I think I'm gonna try another one. Thanks for ur suggestions. And I will move the aquarim to a different room cuz it was in the living room

Sorry for your loss I suggest a White's Tree Frog if you like tree frogs, they are very hardy and are pretty cool lookin. Another good starter frog is a pacman frog. I love the look of white's though haha. Once again, sorry about the frog, you did everything you could to save him. He may have been sick especially if it was wild caught. Good luck and have fun!
