I got a WTF a few moths ago, and there ace! Love mine to bits, Even when you open the tank and he jumps on your face!
I feed mine a mixture of locust hoppers, Crickets, meal worms and the odd wax worm if we get them as a treat for the beardie.
There a very undemanding animal for the most part, I started mine on coconuts husk, with a large water bowl and some bogwood.
The set-up has then been changed to the water bowl, a bigger more spindly piece of bogwood, and some terrarium silk plants. These frogs don't seem overly stressed by anything! they will quite happily be picked up and sit in your hand provided you don't try to stroke them too much. There very attentive, and mine will croak at the kettle! They also know when it's feeding time. And watch you like a hawk when there feeling hungry! Be careful tho as they will overfeed if you let them! Mine has been known to eat 4-5 decent sized hoppers then keep searching for more! You can tell if the frog is getting overweight by the folds above his ears, after a few weeks of having him you will soon learn they will eat far more than they need, and you have to ration them to feeding every few days.
As for colouration, When mine was on coconut husk he was a brown green, Since i have added the plants and removed the substrate he has gone to a Bright blue green. Often he will have have spots of other colour about his personage, I think this is more to to with where he has been sat and and if he has bumped himself. If i feed him locusts he's normally got a few light scratched on his face as well. He will generally leap on them with little or no regard for his safety! I don't think it harms them tho! and he seems to enjoy the larger food much more than crickets.
Don't take any of my post as advice per say, I'm still very much a noob when it comes to frogs, I'm probably doing a lot of things incorrectly myself as i'm still on a learning curve and having my own problems with a smaller set of frogs that a recently purchased!
