Hello to everyone, Have A White tree frog & An Eastern Grey tree frog

[Panagiotis Mat]

guys how are you sure if your frogs are males or females ? can I know it if they are only 1 year old?

I was always told "Only" males call. but in googling just now ....I have read a few posts saying a female whites might let out a short chirp if threatened, stressed, or excited... but no vocal sack will be visible.

[Panagiotis Mat]

vocal sack you mean the "baloons" right and left from the mouth?

when the male calls its chin balloons up ....

Rae yes it wasn't really a call it was more like a chirp, I have never heard a whites call. I thought that is what it sounded like but it has just a chirp. I wish i could hear a white call.

and what do you feed your frogs?I feed my green frogs insects and worms tha i catch because pet stores here have no frog type objects or food so i try by my own to catch their food and feed them but the problem is that they dont wanna it infront of me or by my hands have any solution for this?

I feed mine live crickets from Petsmart, or another reptile place nearby... I have also fed them crickets my daughter has caught... a couple flies and small moths but rarely do I catch those alive lol. I use forceps/tongs to feed mine but you can try the glass bowl trick. food must be live for this to work. (Crickets are the best staple diet for your frogs)

I feed her crickets and worms but i buy them from the place i bought her from. They only deal with reptiles and amphibians.

I feed my frogs roaches that I raise at home. This way I can provide super nutrient foods to my roaches, which will in turn mean lots of vitamins for my animals.

I sometimes capture moths for them at the porch light at night. They abolsutely go crazy for moths.

However, when catching insects from the outdoors there is always a chance you will capture a bug with pesticides, fertilizers, or some other chemical on them that could be poisonous to your frogs. I would be especially careful of earth worms you find in the yard, they have almost certainly been bathing in fertilizers and other chemicals, if not from your yard, then from your neighbors.

Do not feed your frogs super worms or meal worms. These "worms" are not actually worms, but beetle larvea with a shell. Meal/super worms have very little nutritional value, and because of the high shell content they often result in constipation (impaction) in your frog, which can lead to death if it's a severe case.

I highly recommend culturing your own roaches, but if that's not something you want to do your next best bet is to buy crickets from a pet store.

Be sure to dust feeder insects with multivitamin powder once a week, and calcium+D3 powder 2-3 times a week.

Always use bottled spring water or treated tap water (chlorine removed). Chlorine is very toxic to your frogs. You can mist the tank with distilled water, this will prevent water spots all over your tank. You don't want your frogs to soak in distilled water. Because distilled water is SO pure and has zero minerals in it, the water will actually leech important vitamins and minerals from your frog's skin, and we don't want that! Lightly misting them with distilled water is perfectly harmless, it's kinda like getting rained on for them. Rain water is also low or free of minerals, much like distilled water (I think.)

(Crickets are the best staple diet for your frogs)

Only partially true. Crickets are the best staple diet you can buy from most pet stores, true. However, feeder roaches raised and gut loaded with high quality foods (like high protein organic dog food, organic fruits & vegetables) are much more nutritious, have less shell (making them easier to digest), are higher in protein, and lower in fat than crickets are.

lol and I want a female because im not crazy about there calls and dont want to here it all night long lol. I like the greys call... and he doesnt do it too much through the night. Usually after misting XD

Usually and I say usually because of my previous post.... if its calling its a male... if it lays eggs well obviously its a female. But other than that there isn't a sure way to tell. I have a male Grey that calls and 2 others that dont call so I am calling them she's until they say otherwise lol!

[Kellbri]

Ya my grey i'm sure that is a male because he was here before my grey and he calls all day and night. Very vocal.

[Kellbri]

I bought my white from Captive bred Specialties a store here they said they belive that it was a female.
