    I have noticed that my female whites tree frog has been doing this behaviour also recently for the last week or two, she keeps pushing her nose into the corners of the tank as well but she doesnt make any noises like your frog is. Hope you suss out what is causing your frog to behave like this.

    It looks really really dry in there. With no live plants to hold in the humidity, the heat bulbs on top and how dry the coco fibre looks, I doubt that it is maintaining a 60% humidity. While waiting for the vines and plants (some branches would help too) cover 3 sides of the tank to help reduce that open feel and the stress. The big tank doesn't do much good if you do not utilize the height, which you have figured out. My tree frogs almost never touch the ground (usually only to get to the water feature or to catch a cricket that escaped the bowl.) The coco fiber should be damp and clump together when you squeeze it but not dripping. Unfortunately, there is no great humidity monitor, but those analogue ones are horrible. I use the nat geo digital one and it seems to be working well so far. I have an exo terra digital but it reads 99% all the time, so I wouldn't tend to recommend that one. I would also get some vitamins, I use repashy, there is a dusting schedule on here somewhere, my computer isn't working well enough to pull up a link for you at the moment. Crickets should be gutloaded and no bigger than the space between his eyes.

Size:  90.6 KB here's a picture of the whole tank, Mordin is currently wedged under the leaves on the right. That last picture was taken right after the new tank was set up, so it was drier than usual in that picture. I know my hygrometer works, I guess I have no way of judging whether it's totally accurate or not though. Thank you for the input and advice. I've covered 3 sides of his tank with towels, hopefully it helps.

    The plants I'm getting are another leafy wall plant just like the one I already have in there, a long leafy vine to stretch across the whole tank, and a tall fabric floor plant with broad leaves for sitting and hiding.
