How are you measuring the humidity? If it's just the analogue one, it may be a bit off. Do you have live plants? That would help maintain the humidity between mistings. Although, white's are pretty destructive when it comes to live plants.

Re: Burrowing Whites?
It's an analogue at the moment but I'll be fitting a digital hygrometer tomorrow! I've avoided live plants mainly because this is my first time keeping frogs, and also because I did read somewhere that the species is destructive like you said. I'm also changing the substrate back to coco fibre; I changed to orchid bark for cleanliness but it's actually less practical for me and seems to hold less humidity.Originally Posted by LilyPad
Re: Burrowing Whites?
There is also a chance that they'll ingest the orchid bark, leading to impaction. So it is good that you're changing it. I used a digital hygrometer but only put the probe in for a few minutes at a time to measure the humidity so it didn't get water trapped in it and cause poor readings. Eventually, you'll learn by feel and smell what the level is at. He's adorable though!
ETA: If he seems a little nervous, it might be a good idea to cover 3 sides of the tank to help him feel more comfortable.

Re: Burrowing Whites?
Few questions
What size of tank is it? How is heat provided? What's the ambient air temperature away from the basking spot? What's being used to monitor temps? What temp does it drop to at night?
Re: Burrowing Whites?
It's 45x45x45cm tank, heat is through a heat bulb. The ambient air is about 27 degrees celsius during the day and 23 at night. And I use a digital thermometer to monitor temperature.
