Hi everyone,

For my birthday in October, my brother gave me a "Blue" White's Tree Frog...He had it for about a month before he gave it to me, because he felt like it would be sold before my birthday. I love frogs and have always wanted a White's.

The little guy is about an inch maybe an inch and a half, and was given to me in a 10g tank setup. My brother said it would be a green or blue color every morning when he'd check on it. But since I have had it, it's turned brown(maybe it just doesn't like me )Is this normal? It seems like there is a tone of mixed information about what the color changes means. At first I just thought it might have been stressed on the transport, since my brother lives about an hour away, but it's been here over a month and it's never really changed back.

I was told the 10g will be fine since it's still a juvenile, and that when it gets to be 2-3 inches I'd need to upgrade to a 20g or larger. I have a background on two walls, my brother was told to use "T-Rex Jungle Bed" and thats whats in the tank now. I've been maintaining the temperature between 85-90 degrees(with a day and night light because my room gets rather cold), and humidity levels are between 50-70%, I change the water dish every night and mist the tank once in the morning and once at night. On average I can get the little guy to eat 2 small (gut loaded and calcium dusted)crickets every other day. It seems a little thin to me also, but I'm not all that sure how fat or thin it should look at this stage. I've been told to use a "feeding tank" to feed it to make sure it's eating and to offer 3 small crickets every other day. Most every morning I find him soaking in the water dish, and as soon as I change his lights over he climbs the wall into one of three hiding spots in a leafy vine.

I guess my questions are as follow:
Are my temperatures and humidity levels fine?
Is it normal for it to stay brown for so long, and if not, any suggestions on what to do?
How much should it be feed/how often? and is it too soon to feed it mealworms?
Finally just any tips or advice...

I might just be worrying for no reason. I've read a lot about them but would like to hear from others who have taken care of them and raised them first hand. Any answers/advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!
