Could my Whites Tree Frog be pregnant?

I know there are many out there

Not for frogs there isn't. There are products for reptiles but those are not meant for amphibians. What would really help you is a humidity gauge - then you would really know what's going on.

I have a humidity gauge that I try and keep around 60%
Sometimes when I don't spray it multiple times a day it falls to about 50% since I live on the east side of Washington State where humidity is fairly low, but I try to keep it at around 60 sometimes a little higher.
I only use bottled water for the spray bottle and their water

I was told around 60% humidity is best, does that sound about right?

60 is a minimum in my opinion for these frogs. If it fluctuates a lot then that's not very helpful. What kind of terrarium do you keep them in that has so much air flow as to allow this fluctuation?

A few days ago my boyfriend bought this tank to keep them in.


I haven't had it long enough to see how much the humidity changes. I have only sprayed it once today and it has stayed about the same.
Before they were kept in 29 gallon tank with a screen top that was really hard to keep the humidity high at all.

You could block part of the lid to help keep more moisture in.

I am just going to chime in and state my experiences with frogs that soak all the time in their water bowls.
I had a blue poison dart frog that once ate a bunch of been weevils in one sitting. He/she then sat in his/her water bowl for the next 48 hours, then died. I figured it might of died from impaction and it was trying to loosen up it's bowel by soaking in the bowl. I know many reptiles will relax when soaking in water and then poop. I believe amphibians do as well. I am constantly having to clean water bowls out in my Microhylid cages, they are for ever soaking and pooping in the water.
Recently, my hatchet-faced treefrog starting eating, I bought it way back in April. I thought it would've died by now. Up untill recently it was always soaking. Now that it is eating it doesn't appear to soak as much. I really don't know what to make of this.

Thats so true, Ya only find the BIG poo's in the water. He He Specialy when my frogs eat adult Locusts.

I thought that I had read that you could help a frog get through impaction if they were bathed in (slightly) warm water. So as paranoid as I was my first month with my male WTF I started giving him a warm bath every week to help him out... and yes he usually takes a poop afterwards. I continue to do this as it's kind of a habit now. I did noticed however that he will sit in his water everynight after dinner. Sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes an hour, but on nights he gets his special warm bath, he doesn't go near his pond and usually stays up high away from moist areas.
