    Default My white tree frog is sleeping all the time

    I have two white tree frogs. One of them is very active and constantly seeking food and eating. The other guy for the last two weeks has been sleeping most of the time. Is he ok?? He looks fine I took him out the other night it just concerns me.

    while white's are nocturnal, some will be more active during the day. they are kind of like people in that regard. each one has it's own quirks, habits and personality. some sleep all day and are up all night, some split their time between the two. i have a few white's that are more active during the day than the other's. don't be concerned, it's kind of normal behavior for them

    Hello chefrobert,
    ( I guess you like to 'prepare food' ) Yummy
    Perhaps you could answers these questions so that we may be able to rule-out any possible problems that could be causing this inactive behavior and sleepiness.
    A photo of the enclosure and the frog would be really helpful.

    1-size of enclosure
    2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?)
    3-humidity
    4-temp
    5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish
    6-materials used for substrate
    7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv
    8-main food source
    9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often )
    10-lighting
    11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
    12-when is the last time he ate
    13-have you found poop lately
    14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine
    15- how old is the frog
    16-how long have you owned him
    17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred
    18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats
    19- about how often the frog is handled
    20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area
