Im going somewhere on vacation for four days, so what can i do for feeding, water, and humidity? I dont want to leave the crickets in there because i dont want them to bite my frogs, and i though that i could take them, but then i though that it would stress them out a lot so i dont want to do that either...i was thinking repti-fogger for the humidity but i dont know if we'll be able to get it because it costs a lot. And for water...idk...
you can't leave frogs for 4 days, you need somebody to come, change water and mist them as well to maintain humidity. frogs (if adults) will be fine for 4 days without food, but water has to be changed daily and humidity has to be constant, there is no way around it.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
white's can easily go 4 days without food. my white's eat once per week. just feed them well before going on vacation and have someone come in to mist the tank if you don't have an automatic system set up.

i once had a very young juvenile escape, only to find him 2 months later. i can only imagine what/if he ate during that time, but he survived, and after a few weeks of quarantine, he was fine. so i can attest that a juvenile can go 4 days without food. feeding everyday is very good, but it is not law. if you do not have someone who you can trust to feed them everyday, they will be fine. they won't die because they didn't eat every single day.(let the flaming begin...lol) in the wild, they eat when food opportunities arise, which may be every couple days or not for a week or two.

My torch seems to be out of gas...
4 days should be no problem for a healthy and well fed juvenile treefrog. You can also do the http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...owl-trick.html and leave a few extra crickets in it before you go. They won't be able to roam freely then.
I concur with brian...do the glass bowl trick and just get an automatic mister or fogger. However the fogger wont last 4 days even on the lowests setting. The exo terra MONSOON mister WILL last 4 days at timed intervals. I can actually go 2 weeks with the exo-terra mister. Yes its 40 dollars more than the fogger but you get your moneys worth. Also it all depends on where your located. If you feel like releasing that im sure someone wouldnt mind taking care of your animals that is on here.
