Questions about what to do with new Green Tree Frogs

[Gentlemangorath]

Wokwokwokwokwok. That's what I woke up to this morning. Not only was I greeted by some nice Green Tree Frog calling this morning, I was able to see none other than Verde with his vocal sac slightly protruding! I think it can be assumed that Verde is a male then, despite being significantly bigger than Boom. I kind of would prefer if they were both males with one being smaller, it'd be an eerie reflection of Cain and Abel. Also, for anyone who's noticed that one of the frogs is named Green, Boom is dutch for tree. So they are Green and Tree, and they are frogs. .

i know its hard sometime and worrying about your frogs but its surprising what they will get up to while you are a sleep, and when it comes to morning again looks like they have never moved. We have a gliding tree frog that loves to dig himself under ground an and my GF worries sick over him but we have had him for months we un earth him and he has a big nice poo surely this would be enough evidence for her but its not... we spent ages making his tank perfect humidity temp etc worrying he was digging himself in because of conditions (he was sold to us as a white) the more we learned about frogs we soon realised he wasn't what we originally thought, theres very little information on these frogs but what i did find it was a trait of theres to dig or burrow under the substrate.. my point is these animals have a really strong survival instinct and by pestering them all the time and worrying probably frightens them more, i always set up a tank first monitor the conditions and when im confident with it throw the frogs in and just let them adjust... worrying doesn't do you any good or the frogs they'll be fine... worry when they become ill or look thin etc.. good luck and your frogs are pretty

I'm past the point of monitoring and being concerned, but thank you for the input. It's been about a week since I got these guys, and they're just settling in to their new home. Glad to hear your little guy isn't providing problems for you guys as well. I just watched a video of what the gliding tree frog looks like, and it's a pretty cool little guy. Amusing that the first video I clicked on youtube was just a fair sized frog pile though. And yeah, I know they're much more active at night, I'm just a bit used to my old Grays up there that were still active and explorative during the day, compared to Verde and Boom who seem to like to hide out in the den at the bottom of the log (which was actually were Cain liked to dwell until he adjusted to the tank (which took like a month actually). When I woke up this morning, Verde was sitting facing toward Boom with his vocal sac extended, so that's how I can tell he is the male, but I could have sworn that Boom would have been the male, being fairly smaller.
