Breeding Green Tree Frogs (Whites tree frog)

[mshine1217]

DC101,
Have you checked out Kurt's care sheet on them? He recommends misting them once a day in the evening. As far as breeding them? If you're fortunate enough to get a male and female, being difficult to sex, with a proper environment set up for them, I don't think that you would have a problem with nature taking it's course.

Cool , but do i need to cycle them. How do i do that?

[mshine1217]

I'm not sure what you mean by cycling, as in seasonal changes? I have Axototl's and fish so at first I was thinking of cycling tank water Let's see, it's winter downunder, so I would follow the natural daylight hours right now. About 4 weeks before your spring, I would drop the temperatures a few degrees, not too much. Then gradually bring them up along with the daylight time. I would also mist them two or three times a day. Make sure they have a soaking dish. If you have a pair, I would think that would do the trick. I have done this for other species, but as I said I don't have the "White's" yet and don't know if they respond differently. Good Luck.

Thanks mshine1217!

Im going to get 4 green tree frogs (whites tree frog) but i won't know what sex they are because they will be young. Hopefully i'll have a good balance

Anyways, anyone else breed green tree frogs (whites) and know the best way to do it?

Another thing that seems to help is to time it with your rainy season. I'm not sure if frogs can sense the air pressure of storms but I have found it helps. Wait for a storm to roll in and then mist like crazy.

Thanks Cheri, good advice.

Anyone else know about the cycling?

The way to tell male and female whites is the male whites have a darker chin and extra toe pads to grip the female i do believe. dont know about the cycles though.
