My Whites might actually be a black...hole that is.

I use river rocks for my substrate and they're various shades of white and tan, so i figured I had an ok shot at finding them, but you're probably right they may just be out of sight. Who knows they might even buried when he's doing whatever it is I hear at 2 am. I guess so long as the eating's good, I won't worry.

I have three White's in my tank, so I'm always finding poop all over, but it's not as much as I would think for the three of them in there and as much as they're eating. So I'm under the impression that I'm missing some. I bet you are too.

If your White was impacted, it is likely that it would stop eating and that it would spend most of his time in the water dish.

You may want to check with some of the more experienced owners about using river rocks. There are a few articles here about setting up terrariums and care of White's.
I would think using some in the tank would be just fine, but it may not hold enough moisture. This is just a thought I wanted to throw out there, I just want you to have the best info and best set up for your froggers. So if anyway reads this can you please give your expert opinion about using the rocks!!!
I don't know how long you've had your White's frog but, many people also reccomend to have you frog seen by a vet when you get a new frog and or in this situation, which may not be a bad idea and will help you relax.
Usually beginning around 11:30-12pm mine start to bounce around the tank, it is so funny watching them climb, jump and dangle from the hood and plants.
Right now I have 10 in a 33gal fish tank, but my Gray Tree Frogs are still froglets and most are around 1". So for now I have them all in one tank. Luckily a friend brought me up another large tank, I am guessing around 35-40gal that I'll put 1/2 in as they get larger. Another friend said he'd also give me some of his tanks ranging from 10 to 50 to 100 gal he used to breed bearded dragons and geckos and also has heat lamps and vitamins, Yeah, I can't wait.
I am using organic soil for my substrate because I can't find anything else since I live in no mans land and potted plants that were on sale at walmart and a few rocks I had in the fish tank. I am looking to get some wood and other stuff for them to climb on from some of the web sites linked to this site. You may want to browse through too for ideas and stuff to get.
Good luck and keep us posted how your froggy is doing and what you decide.

Well, river rocks as my substrate was misleading, I have a layer of LECA and mesh for a false bottom, covered with the river rocks. Water is cycled from the bottom through a waterfall system and typically my hygrometer reports 65-75% humidity depending on time of day. Between the humidity readings and the soaking area, I am pretty sure he has enough moisture. I appreciate the concern though, I actually used the care sheets on this site before making my purchase. As a side note I have discovered some of his little presents recently so I'm definitely less worried. The vet visit is a good idea, I'll keep that in mind.

Glad to help, sounds like you did your homework and congrads on the poop. Many people here has advised to bring my frogs to the vet to make sure they are healthy and don't have any parasites, since I took mine in from the wild the chances are they possibly have them so when they get slightly larger and I feel a trip to the vet will cause the least amount of stress..off we will go to the vet! I have 12 right now, but with a pool full of tads who knows how many I will end up bringing and how much it will cost. Best of luck!

Just a quick FYI: So, one of my white's is sick (poor Igby), and being extra vigilant, she was into the vet right away as well!

Nevertheless, we did a round of fecal cultures (highly suggested as a just in case, anyhow)...and the vet estimated that it could take up to three days for a "sample," after feeding that day. SO, that's just a little estimation on how long it might take a little White to....process :P

Hope he's okay!

Very interesting! I expected them to have relatively fast alimentary track! Human's, on average, can be a day or 2, depeding on age, but given that most humans are more active than our lazy little froggers I guess it makes sense. Thanks for the info, I love facts like this!!!

[charlamanda]

Oh Geez!!!! How is Igby? Your really having alot of issues with your guys? OYE! I've got 12 frogs, 9 bunnies, 3 dogs and 5 cats!!!!! I should worry, shouldn't I and I am on disability, with limited income!! Anyhow, I hope your baby is ok.
