Best thing I believe is to not worry too much about them. Don't "kill them with kindness" if you know what I mean. Just make sure their fed, their tank is cleaned every so often and make sure it doesn't smell bad.
I had my baby whites since they were tiny tadpoles, smaller than my pinky nail.. I wasn't even sure at first if they were tadpoles. Now they are frogs (at about 2 inches each). I have 5 of them.
I kept them in a small enclosure at first so they could track down their food easier, because they didn't eat for a while... once they started, I fed them larger critters to toughen them up a bit, which seems to have worked as they now take down things double their size with ease and they get a little more exercise out of it.
Humidity’s fine, as I live in what could be called the tropics, it's been about 32ºC outside all week at about 70% humidity (so I imagine inside the tank to be a little higher), all I've kept on the frogs is a small fan to circulate the air a bit, and they are doing fine.
Whites can put up with pretty harsh conditions and seem to adapt to whatever you provide them, I think they live a lot better when you give them that leeway, so they become immune to things while they're young rather than become sick later on.
Good luck![]()
