    Hello and welcome to FF Kaila! Sorry your frog is not doing well . Would recommend move frog into a hospital like enclosure (damp unprinted paper towels for substrate, water dish, and some artificial foliage and climbing branches or vines to climb on should do). Skin symptoms point to some kind of irritation; could be water or something else. Please answer below questions and we will try to identify the problems. Also, here is link to our excellent care guide: Frog Forum - White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea .Thank you !

    “Trouble in the Frog Enclosure”

    The following information will be very helpful if provided when requesting assistance with either your frog or enclosure. To help with your questions, please utilize the below list and post the information in the proper forum area to get advice from FF members that keep the same frog. This will allow for little confusion and a faster more informed response.

    1. Size of enclosure
    2. # of inhabitants - specifically other frogs and size differences
    3. Humidity
    4. Temperature
    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 and other materials.
    - 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 being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure
    12. When is the last time he/she ate
    13. Have you found poop lately
    14. A pic would be helpful including frog and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)
    15. How old is the frog
    16. How long have you owned him/her
    17. Is the frog wild caught or captive bred
    18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats
    19. How often the frog is handled
    20. Is the enclosure kept in a high or low traffic area
    21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc)

    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    1.His enclosure is 24"x24"x36"
    2.hes the only one living in it
    3. Humidity is 60%
    4. Temp is about 25 degrees celcius
    5. Water for both is bottled spring water
    6. Substrate is coco husk (large pieces, too big to get in his mouth)
    7. Fake plants, a fake vine, a wooden climbing branch and a wooden cave which is where he ALWAYS sleeps
    8. Crickets sometimes meal worms
    9. I've never used calcium or vitamin supplements until last night when I gave him the meal worms thinking this maybe caused by a deficiency
    10. I'm not sure about the lighting, its whatever the pet store guy told me they needed
    11. A heating pad under the enclosure
    12. He ate last night but only 4 meal worms that I had to feed him with tweezers.
    13. I took poop out on Thursday before I left for my trip
    14. Ill put up a pic in 2 hours when I'm off.
    15. I've had him for 4 years. Not sure of age
    16. Above
    17. Captive bread
    18. Don't know what that is
    19. He's not handled often
    20. The enclosure is in my bedroom which I'm only in to sleep really
    21. I change the substrate once a month and change water daily.
