Turns out Frog I is a male. TJ just called me into the living room, "somethings make a noise in that tank" Yup, throad all puffed out, but didn't get to hear him, dang it.

I love to see a fat little belly pushed up on the glass. Frog I

CUTE!! No wonder you couldn't resist them. What are they?

[kueluck]

American Green Tree Frogs. They are native to us and I see tons of them when we go to Pettigrew State Park in NC, and in Cheraw State Park S.C. during mating season it's almost deafening.

The wait is OVER!! Neighbor emailed me at work yesterday......Petco in G'boro has Whites Tree Frog. I called, and a few hours later, well, let me just show you.


They had the bigger one for over a month & it was housed with about 10 small ones. Right now I have them in separate tanks, since the little ones might let lost in the big tank. All are eating, soaking, pooping and seem to adjusting well to life in the Hill House. They are just CRAZY CUTE!!!!

Ok, I know I haven't had them but what, a day and a half, but I'm already concerned about the leaders behavior, which is the big one. At this point I refer to them as The Three Amigos until sex is determined. So, like I said the leader does not hang out on top like most tree frogs do, stays more to the bottom of the viv. Eating well, soaking, I haven't seen poop yet from this one, but at Petco all poop was well formed. All three are very alert and OH MY GOSH, personality galore in each one. Could the viv be to heavily planted? Temps range in degrees from 68 on bottom to 80 on top, humidity ranges from 50-70%. I also don't see much jumping and hopping around, more like stalking through the undergrowth in a kinda creepy looking way. I'm used to gray & green tree frogs that hop all over the glass & leap from branch to plant, so is this normal for WTF? I also feed them in a separte container, no free running feeders in the viv. I hope to get them to tong feed once they get comfortable in their new home.

The leader is behind a piece of cork bark on the bottom, in the back of the viv.
Looks healthy and alert to me.

Gail, this thread has great information, Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Lynn. It's just so much easier to track things when I can keep it all on one thread, that is unless an emergency comes up (hope that doesn't happen). But I'm still waiting for someone to chime in on the staying close to the ground thing.

Names have been chosen.
Shadrack, the largest of the group
Meshack (top) & Abendnego
And I pulled a few of the plants from the viv, and Shadrack is starting to hang out on the upper part now on the plants and walls. I also offered him, and I say him because last night when I offered a wax worm by tongs he opened his mouth and made a sound like a baby crying, & did this 3 times??? He also made other little noises when I was in the viv. Not sure what it was all about, but when I set the worm on a leaf he went for it.

Hi Gail! Just finished reading your thread, very nice and informative. I'm glad your tree frogs are all better, good luck !

[kueluck]

Not sure if they are "all better" yet, going to take a fecal in this Friday for a re-check. I've found lots of nice dark formed poop, but once in a while I also get a softer one, but nothing like it had been. I just hope I'm done with the meds.

Finished planting and setting up their new 36x18x36. They have all settled in and found their daytime spots to hang out in.

Lovely!

That's my girl Vera. This is where she likes to soak and it's also her toilet.

Toads, toads & more toads. I went ahead and removed 2 to 3 inch of substrate, added more hides, so far, so good. This leave approx 2 inch which gives them enough to cover about 1/2 their back side, but not enough for them to go under completely. All four toads are in great shape, ate last night and this morning, and have been picking out their spots to hunker down in during the day.
