    I apologize for the lack of information given about the frogs, but the story is kind of long, but I guess I should let you all know.
    So, my dad has a greenhouse in southern California which is temperature and humidity controlled with an average temperature of 80 degrees. I purchased a white's tree frog from a local reptile store and gave it to him for his birthday. My dad went to another local pet store and purchased what he thought were three white's tree frogs. All have been active and living in the greenhouse. I checked his new white's and only one of them was a white's. The other two were some other type of green tree frogs (looking like the ones you mentioned in the above threads). He was a water feature in the greenhouse as well. One day, he noticed there were eggs in the water. He took the tadpoles out and raised about 100 of them and that was one of the babies. The babies are now in a different greenhouse eating fruit flies and crickets as you advised.

    I hope this helps in the identification and I can try to get some pictures of the adult frogs as well. If you have any other questions or comments, please let me know.
    thanks for the replies.

    I go along with Kurt. According to the white stripe on its side I'd say it's probably a hyla cinerea but could be a litoria infrafrenata as well. imho doesn't look like a white's.

    Based on this updated information, I would say it is Hyla cinerea.

    i think that they are fine in the greenhouse. the greenhouse is a custom built one with not even an air hole for the frogs to escape.

    Wait is it a greenhouse? Or a terrarium? Also Tree frogs need some ventilation.
