Lately I have run across some opinions elsewhere (FB) that directly misting, dampening or otherwise applying water to a frog, specifically a WTF, whether by a spray bottle (micro-mist), or a few droplets or gentle stream from a squeeze bottle, is somehow harmful, injurious, stressful or downright cruel to said frog. There are exceptions to every rule (and rules often do change) but from personal experience I have not found this to be the case with either PCFs or my WTFs. Most of my frogs enjoy a little shower now and again-- I'm talking about a LIGHT fine mist, drop or rivulets of water, not Rambo running through the jungle cutting everything down with a pressure washer! As far as my own frogs go, and with my own techniques, they are fine with it... albeit Martha the Grump, and flighty frog Honey-Lime, will sometimes leave when I go to spray the tank even BUT they also do the same thing when I go to video them, change the water, or clean the cage too. Antisocial boogers, lol, but that's them. If a frog doesn't like being misted they'll let you know, so obviously don't keep it up, but if they are good with it, why not? I tend to dampen my frogs during feeding time sometimes as well, especially after they have had dusted dinners... it helps to get any dust off their faces and out of their eyes; I have an idea that absorbing a little water might help them swallow their food too, but that's just my theory.

Anyone else have ideas on misting (or not) the frogs themselves? If not, why not? Do you have concrete proof that it is harmful? (I'm researching so cite your sources please). If you do mist them what type of bottle do you use, what kind of water, and what are your techniques?

Informative answers, whether yay or nay, much appreciated. Thanks!

(PS: This specifically pertains to White's tree frogs, but I understand their are some delicate species in which this may be a bad idea, period. Any other thoughts on misting other species of frogs?)
