    Default Whites sitting in the same spot all day?

    Hi guys!

    Its day 3 for my frogs and I've been having a little problem.

    I have 3 Australian Green Tree Frogs, they are 4 months old and one imparticular says in the same spot all day and (i think) all night.

    It sits under a ledge of the background occasionally waking up but it just sits there. Im able to tong feed it just like the others but im just worried that its not moving around like the others.

    The humidity is 50-60% and the temp is 26 during the day and 24-22 at night. Ive dusted their crickets once and will dust again on the next feed as I've read it could be a calcium deficiency.

    The other 2 frogs have been quite active, moving around and climbing so im a little worried.

    Could it be stress? Calcium deficient? Or should i wait for a bit until i get too worried? Im just worried about the little fella you know...

    So, does anyone know what it could be and what i could do?

    Ive had to open the viv a few times today as the pump stopped and needed to fix it but thats done now and won't be opening it until the next feed.

    I know its a long read but i will sincerely appreciate any input and/or help.

    Thanks!

    Ok, so the frog has came out of his little spot. His eyes look somewhat...different to the others. Maybe he just woke up but ill keep an eye on him and dust for every feed for a week or so.

    Ill be watching this one for a bit an monitor its progress but i would still love your input.

    Alright, good news guys. The little fella came out from the hiding spot and i saw him high up on a branch, wide eyed and active. Good to see him/her looking good.

    Need to fat the guy up a bit

    David,
    Well , you answered all your own questions. lol
    They just need to adjust!
    Let them beeeeeeeeeeeee in their great new enclosure you build for them!

    I'm sure you know this process takes time.
    Try to resist fussing with them.

    If you are planning to bowl feed. Get the bowls in there now, so they get used to seeing the crickets wriggle.
    They may not eat out of the bows, but they will !!!! eventually.
    You will , of course have to keep the bowls really clean/refill etc.

    It took my A. moreletii froglets (very young) about 2 weeks to learn to use their bowl.
    I could not believe how quickly they got the hang of it.
    I guess it could take longer for an older frog?
    I have never had whites, however.
    Don't know if their behavior using a feeding bowl is different compared to Agalychnis.

    Enjoy them, they are beautiful!

    Thanks you so much Lynn, you turn every situation positive

    It is such a change. One minute he was sitting in the same spot for 2 days, lifeless and lazy and now, literally, he is jumping off the walls!!! Every time i check up on him, he is somewhere different. You should see his eyes,
    they are deep black and huge!

    I can't believe the change in him, not he makes the other 2 look lazy. Its weird, the others wonder around in the morning while this guy forages at night!

    As for feeding, i tong feed them and leave a few running around in the viv so they and have some fun. They are from the tong day one so i think i may stick to it.

    I would like to use a glass bowl but the problem is that i have 3 in one viv and one may take all of them. Plus, im planning on feeding them roaches and they can clamp but i could vasaline the bowl anyway.

    Is there a way i can use a bowl even though i have 3 ?
