    He does, But not often at all. He did once a night when I first got him. But not in the past 3-4 weeks. He also crocks sometimes when I am misting him. But like I said, not often. Yes, But I would have figured people would just breed them and sell them that way and leave the wild ones. So for a wild frog, I am guessing they need a bigger enclosure than the ones bread?? No one answers my question about him spraying LOL.

    Hi Blaze,
    I don't come to the forum very often anymore, but pop in every once in a while and check out the treefrog section...
    Your frog looks okay based on the second set of pictures, but (imo) you should bump up the feeding to at least every other day. He could use a couple more grams or so..
    Stop the meal worms, no real nutrition in them, and they are hard to digest. Can you get night crawlers? canadian night crawlers are the best. My white's go nuts for them. Just cut to about a couple inches long and feed with either your fingers or rubber tipped tongs.
    Stop handling the frog, he doesn't like it and he never will. Him peeing on you is him telling you to stop. It's a defense mechanism. Handling should only be done when it's necessary.
    Can you answer these questions please? And provide a pic of the frogs enclosure?
    I'll pop back in to see if anything looks like it coiuld be improved.
    Thanks!

    As Bolisnide stated; peeing is a defense mechanism from a stressed out frog. It is a sign your frog does not like human handling. Recommend avoid handling at all, unless needed when cleaning enclosure. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I agree with Bolisnide. Bump up the feedings, but he looks fine.
