    You need to get temp's up to 85F and humidity around 50-60%. Also, heat mats in frogs enclosure need to be affixed to side. Reason is frogs bury to cool down. Myself do not trust bottled water. It is more safer to use treated tap (Seachem Prime or ExoTerra Aquatize) since they treat those bottled waters to human drinking city standards, not frog standards. The water dish should be cleaned and refilled daily even if it looks clear. The coco substrate should be mixed with treated tap until slightly damp and clumps in fist without dripping water out.

    Are you driving to vacation site? How far? Maybe it's possible to take them with you .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Just checked, temp is 85+ on warm side -- 75+ on cool side. This is what all the White's tree frog care sites I've found recommend. Humidity is correct too.

    I will switch to treating the tap water.

    No, we are taking a Megabus, can't take them with us in a 18x18x24 terrarium, and that would be even more stressful I'd think. They will be in a calm environment at the other houses, away from curious eyes of children, etc for five days. We do clear the water dishes every day -- dump, rinse, rinse in spring water, and refill. At least once but often twice because they get stuff in them.

    Thanks to both of you for your advice. We'll keep our fingers crossed for little MiSH.
