    Default Re: Strange Behaviour: White's

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response I will add the extra information at the bottom. I have to admit I got my first White's at a small local pet store with more experienced handlers where as the little guy came from petco. I have had Kiwi since the 22nd of Jan, so only two weeks. Since getting Kiwi, I did a through cleaning job and re-vamped the new terrarium that my two frogs share. I do not currently have a quarantine tank unless I used the one with my carnivorous plants because I do not have any extra heating sources. Is it possible to put a small enclosed container in the larger terrarium for quarantine? This would allow me to maintain a more stable environment for the quarantine tank.

    1----what 'kind' of frog is it ( what species) White's Tree Frog
    2----please include a photo of the frog
    3----Please include a photo of the frog's current enclosure I will add a photo later, but it is an exoterra

    12---describe enclosure maintenance ( water changes, cleaning etc) I have a pump that circulated the water in the enclosure and anything added is cleaned, whole tank is cleaned monthly.
    13---what kind of water is used? All water is filtered, if tap then treated
    -----for misting
    -----for the frog's soaking dish

    15---enclosure set up: Exoterra small tall enclosure with bridge, vine, leafy fake plant, a fake tree (which I am going to remove)
    -----if recent - describe how the enclosure was cleaned Diluted Hydrogen Peroxide was used to clean the tank, then distilled water
    -----plants( live or artificial) if artificial plants are used are they plastic or fabric? Plastic
    -----describe wood, bark , and background materials? Styrofoam exoterra rock wall
    16---when is the last time the frog ate? For certain 2 days
