I would definitely try to find a herp vet in your area that works with amphibians.

Re: Whites tree frog
You say you're feeding locusts? I know when I feed my adult Whites Tree Frog, Martha, big crickets she has the look of something pointy inside for a while. Your frog is clumsy and falling...? Do you dust his insects with Calcium and D3? Check out this article on Metabolic Bone Disease in frogs... http://frogworld.net/health/mbd.html
Not a clue about the blue color, unless it is some action of the camera. :/
Martha after swallowing a big cricket (see the pointy looking area in her belly by her elbow?)

Re: Whites tree frog
Hi yh I tried him with the crickets and he wasn't interested, only had him a week so I'm presuming e wasn't interested because he was getting used to his enclosure. He's only about 5 months old or so I think, he's got his normal colouration in him now just a tad pinking under belly sides and thys is that normal? I'm a tarantula keeper so this is all new to me. I tried the locusts because they climb up her tree which he has been annihilating everytime he sees them.
Re: Whites tree frog
Te pointy thing is exactly what he had. So that's that problem solved haha cheers. Yh the blue was weird it's gone now. I havnt dusted the insects as of yet. But I will b from tonorow.
Re: Whites tree frog
Good deal! Yes, it is imperative that he gets food dusted once a week with calcium & D3 and once a week on a different day with a good multi vitamin. He's young so twice a week dusting with the Cal/D3 might not be too much.
Keep us updated on how he is doing!

Re: Whites tree frog
Will do thanks very much for UR help. I'm gonna get more in the enclosure soon but wanted to learn how to care for one before buying a load an not being able to monitor them all correctly. So the powders I need to be what will I need?
Re: Whites tree frog
If he's your first I'd seriously wait a bit to see how you get on with him before going all out... the frogs if purchased individually from different sources will all need to be quarantined for 1-3 months before adding them to a main collection as well, to avert potential disaster from disease/parasites, etc.
Yes. There are many brands of supplement powders available. I use Reptocal with calcium/D3 and Reptivite multi-vitamins.
