Hey Everyone!

[Tripe46]

Greetings from PA. I have had two American green tree frogs for about a year and a half. Just got a whites and I currently have the three of them in a 20 gal exoterra terrarium. I'd like to think that I did a lot of homework before I bought my original 5 frogs from naturecoastexotics.com (two red eyed tree, one Vietnamese blue tree, and two american green tree). I was told by whomever answers the customer emails that all 5 could be housed together in a 30 gal terrarium with no problem. This proved not to be the case as the both red eyed tree frogs and the Vietnamese blue tree frog died about 6 months after I had received them. I made sure the cage was warm and humid, lighting was correct, and the frogs were fed every other day. Now I've only had the whites for two days and I plan on moving him to his own terrarium (after what I have read about keeping different species in the same cage), but I am looking for some insight. Is it necessary to move the whites tree frog? and if so whats the best way to go for a home him/her. Thanks!!

Move the White's to a standard 20-gallon tank or similar. See the care article for more details. Also make sure there is good ventilation for any treefrog you keep.

Thanks! I have a 27gal on the way, however it won't be here until next week. Is it alright to leave the white's with the greens for a few more days or should I put him in a little plastic cage for the time being?

The longer the White's is in there the more likely they will share any parasites they are carrying, not to mention diseases. Remove him and keep him in a temporary container (like a critter keeper if necessary) for a few days.
