Help with whites tree frog!!!asap!!!

[KassyMiller]

im no pro... ive had these frogs before, and they thrived off of the same set up? actually this one is better, bigger tank, better and bigger water bowl and bigger lights. i am trying my best to give them the best life. i will go to the dollar store and see what i can get for plants, maybe that will make them feel better. as i said the one is super green and looks to be happy. and once winnifred ate a couple crickets dusted with calcium she greened up a little too... she is still not the greatest that i have seen her in the short week i have had her.
i have made it more ventilated. i put a screen on top, with the fish tank top on top of that... i need the fish tank top for the light, but this way with the screen i can open up where the fish tank filter was , and where the fish would be fed for more ventilation.
i hope no one thinks i am a poor pet owner, i am trying my best...

Kasey by no means am I suggesting that you are a poor pet owner..on the contrary...you are here on a frog forum to gain information to help ensure that you have a healthy and happy pet. That alone suggests that you are doing your best to ensure that your frog returns to good health and starts eating again. We all started out the same way... I had my Red Eye Leaf frog set up in the perfect habitat.....for a dart frog. But I quickly learned and started changing my setup to something more suitable for a tree frog. Learn from others and adapt those ideas to your situation and do it quickly.

thanks everyone for your help. after changing the substrate, feeding them crickets dusted with calcium and buying them leafage for their tank , they both seem to be happy and healthy. thank goodness, i was really worried!
i have one more question, do whites sleep with their eyes closed? they both seem to have theirs closed and i hadn't noticed that with ones i previously owned!?
again thanks sooooo much!

Awesome! I'm glad your froggies are doing better! And no one would suggest you were a bad pet owner - everybody makes mistakes when owning animals. Love counts more than anything, and animals know when they're loved.

One of mine sleeps with her eyes fully closed, and the other girl sleeps with them about half open. I actually sleep with mine half open too some nights.
