Hi
Congrats on the new frog. I would suggest bringing the temps down a little and humidity down to about 60 - 65 percent. Normal nighttime temps should be about 68 -70 and daytime temps 75 - 78 degrees.
Have ample climbing, perching, and places he/she can feel hidden. It will take some time for your daughter's new frog to settle in so below is a list of suggesstions I like to provide for the newly acquired tree frog:
1. Place the tank in a quiet room and not in direct sunlight
2. Cover three sides of the tank and remove any night lighting.
3. Ensure their environmental needs are met such as temperature and humidity.
3. Ensure water is either chlorine free (bottled spring) or treated tap water.
4. Limit the times you enter the tank to only when changing water and adding or removing crickets.
5. Monitor humidity and temperature and mist once to twice daily.
6. Provide enough natural accents to allow for hiding, climbing, and perching above the substrate. Since your frog lives in trees, they are rarely found on the substrate and prefer to move from leaf to vine to branch to explore the tank.
7. Slowly remove covered sides over a few weeks to let them become accustomed to their surroundings.
8. Ensure the crickets provided are no longer than the width of the frogs head.
9. Monitor the frogs activity and weight. If your frog moves around at night in the dark and soaks or sits at the water dish edge, then he/she is doing fine. If a physical visual condition is seen, then its time to worry.
and finally..... relax. That is what your frog needs to do and you should too.
