Re: sick White's tree frog
Grif is right. The humidity is way too low and the temps should be around 80 during the day and a bit lower at night. Answering the questions from that sticky will be a great help too. Below are two possible answers for you based on the limited information but from the pic and the info I feel are good possibilities.
Thats Flow in the pic right? Its not 100% but I think it could be the "lime green spots of doom". No, not the technical name. I wish I could find the thread that I first heard this term, it had the real illness's name, so I could make notes about the real illness. More or less its a type of infection or bacteria that attacks your frog and once you see the spots, its way too late. They say there isn't anything that can be done by that point and death is fairly swift once the spots appear. If the spots have not appeared on Ebb (or even if they have. you never know what a vet might pull out of there sleeve), seek a vet ASAP. It is treatable if caught early enough. Make sure its a vet that knows how to treat amphibians. If you dont have a vet that knows what there doing with these guys then maybe try to contact a local zoo. They would need to have a specialist if they have a reptile house and they might be willing to help you.
Its possible, seeing the moss substrate and you saying they didn't want to eat, it could have been a simple case of impaction. Its not as bad as the "green spots" but it is deadly. Impaction is when a frogs ingests something that can not be passed threw the digestive tracked and its basically a deadly form of constipation. Most moss's are notorious for causing this because not only do they not break down in the frogs system but they keep absorbing water even inside the frog and makes more of a block. A herp vet can prescribe something that can help the frog pass the obstruction (basically a froggy laxative) and if treated properly your frog will most likely make a full recovery.
