Bigger sizes tanks are always better.

If you mist the frogs once or twice a day, and make sure they always have a bowl of water (unless you build a vivarium with a pond), then your humidity will probably be fine. Buy a hygrometer to keep an eye on it.

You can buy cricket food at pet stores, but I feed my crickets carrots. And you can buy calcium powder at pet stores to dust the food with.

could i put three frogs in a viv that size and what %humidity should the viv be at and what temp thanks

I'm horrible with converting centimeters to inches. The one I have is 18x18x24 inches, and I think three could go in there.

My humidity is usually 60-70, usually mid-70's or higher 70's during the day temperature-wise. There's a care guide on White's here that is useful.

I'd say more, but work time.

thanks for your help

With any tree frog a tall tank is always better than one with floor space. And as onebet stated, bigger is always better.

Awesome. I wish I had a laptop to bookmark it on. I should just learn the metric system.

White's are a large frog as adults. They need as much space as possible. Certainly, the bigger the better. Like Johnny said, you want to get the tall Exo Terras. I would recommend the 45x45x60 cm as the minimum size for a White's. For 3 White's I would go with the next size up (again, always taller than it is wide and long).

hi snoop frog whats the make of your viv? i like the exo terras but havent seen a 90cm tall one.

[snoopfroggyfrog]

hi andrew your right its not 90 tall i made a mistake whilst looking it was lenght i saw at 90, exo terras only do 60 tall as there tallest i think........
I found a garden centre in bristol that do 60x60x45 for £88.99.
Im gonna have to go for that one.

I have 2 White's in a 60x45x60 exo terra. My frogs are small at the moment, but there is a lot of room in there! Maybe not for 3 though.
Oh, and I got mine for £53 on a pet shop on ebay. Delivery was £8 I think, you might wanna check that out Snoop

That was a d*mn good price Katie! I just paid £50 + £9 postage for a 45x45x60!

Kerry, I think mine may be 45x45x60 got my wires crossed!! Ooopsie
