Article: White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea

[Charlotte Benedict]

I just got two baby White's, about two inches long, Ebb and Flow. Ebb has adapted wonderfully to his habitat, actively climbing around, and has accepted me hand-feeding him. He was light green when I got him, now he is a nice jade color. Flow was also light green, but after I got him he turned a dark brown color, hasn't been eating when I hand feed him, and stays on the ground. I am very worried, especially because Ebb is doing so well. Any thoughts as to what this is, or what I can do would really really help. I am so worried.

Stress, needing to acclimate, low humidity, all can contribute to why your frog is on the substrate and not its happy light green. You can post pics of the enclosure and some stats in the Tree frog section of the forum and those keeping these frogs can try and assist you.
