I recently acquired a new whites tree frog to accompany my other whites tree frog. I introduced them to each other about 3 weeks ago, and they seem to get along with no problems, in fact my old frog seems very happy to have a companion after years of being alone.

However the newest frog is very shy, he’s scared of any kind of light and hides when he sees humans. He spends most of his time in a hollowed out log, he definitely comes out when we’re asleep, as he’ll be muddy some days and then not the next. Our old frog isn’t scared of light of humans at all, which means that we see a lot more of him.

My main concern is that I haven’t seen the newest frog eat anything yet. I don’t think he’s being bullied, but the old established frog is very quick to jump around the tank and eat the locusts. We try to put the locusts in just before we go to sleep when they’re both sat in the log to give them a fair chance, but this means we have no idea which frog is eating how much.

Ive considered taking him out of the vivarium to feed him in a little tub, but he’s so shy I’m not sure that this is a good idea. We’ve waved locusts in front of him to no avail.

Ive also considered taking the hollow logs out so they’re forced to hide less, but they both seem to enjoy sleeping in the logs and I don’t want to disturb their habitat.

Im terrifies that I’ll find the poor lil guy dead one day! Does anyone have any suggestions?
