I need more information on Whites Tree Frogs

Awesome, thanks. I knew turtles could get metabolic bone disease if they have inadequate UV lighting, because the vitamin D in UV boosts the absorption of calcium in the intestines necessary for healthy bone growth, but with frogs not having a carapace made of bone, not being diurnal and not being reptiles that bask in the sun for warmth I wasn't sure about their UV requirements... So MBD isn't an issue with nocturnal frogs that you've heard of?

Not that I have heard of but i have never heard anything negative about use of 2.0 lighting also :-)
