Complete White’s Tree Frog Care Guide 2021

White’s tree frogs, dumpy tree frogs, or Australian tree frogs have been kept in captivity for many years. There seems to be a lack of youtube content about them so i'm hoping to change that!

ABOUT ME:
Hello! My name is Emma and I have a very large passion for educating the public on reptiles, amphibians, and rodents on proper small animal care. I do like to also keep my channel fresh and make some lighter hearted videos as well! I pay for most of my animals things, and I’m an extremely dedicated keeper. With that being said, I would never give up on my animals, they are my kids. All of them are in above minimum enclosures. I am constantly researching new care, and ways to improve my pets well being and life. I’m very open to CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM) hate is not tolerated. We can have a civil conversation if you have a problem or have concerns, thank you!

I recommend having a basking spot or heat pad and thermostat that measures up to about 85°. It’s great for their digestion or if they just want some extra warmth! Sorry I completely forgot to discuss that

i've had my white's for a few years now, and dont get me wrong, they're doing great and i've done my research, but i love watching videos like this just to see everyone's cute little froggie 🥺

[@shyanha]

Thank you for all the info! I'm taking care of my kiddo's WTF and wasn't given much instruction (husband got Covid, kiddo had to stay away and is very difficult to reach when away). I went to the pet store yesterday, utterly clueless, and they got me fixed up with some small crickets. He hadn't eaten in 2 weeks, but I was assured he conserves his energy well and has gone longer without eating by his own choice. Still, I'm a mom and one of our go tos is ensuring things are fed! 😆 Initially I felt Really bad about feeding him the crickets. I reminded myself I used to put them on a hook to fish and this was similar. She has the same froggy cup and he was lounging in it, but once that cricket touched his lip he reminded me of our dogs, begging for another treat. He was so eager to eat that I forgot to feel guilty about the crickets. Now I can't help myself - I'm constantly peeking in on him. I mist his enclosure when it gets dry and angle my head every which way to ensure he's still breathing. Never thought I'd care so much about a frog, but The Detective is a pretty cool little dude and I'm enjoying my time with him. Your information helped answer some questions I had (or reinforce answers I received) so thank you, again.

Had a white tree frog for over 15 years handled it almost everyday with not a single problem I always washed my hands and arms before and after with no soap or any chemicals and like I sayed never had any issues had a few friends with the Same results so personally I think it's fine to handle them but you do whatever you feel comfortable with.

How did you clean your hands and arms but didn’t use soap or cleaners?

Thank you!❤️❤️

[@gregms7661]

I think the deal breaker with these guys is the not handling them as much as I want. It sucks cause they are super cute!

Awesome video!

Im getting my son one so this video was good to watch 😜

Amazing video! I got my whites tree frog at the beginning of august this year. When I got him he was about an inch and 1/2. He is now much larger, maybe even double. I’ve been feeding him 5-6 small/medium crickets a everyday, with the occasional worm. Do you think I should move him to feeding every other day now? :)

[@EmmysPets]

Yes, I would begin feeding him every other day to every couple days:)

[@MattTheNeOnOrB]

where do you find white's look all over my area (columbia, SC) and it's so hard to find one.

[@audreybruce6607]

what type of bulb do u recommend for there heating lamp also do they need a heating pad with the heating lamp

[@evilrereo9638]

I am getting a white tree frog soon. I have a 20 gallon tank set up with everything from heating lamps to fresh moss and automatic mist-ers. I however am not thrilled about the crickets as they are loud. If i fed my frog calcium/frog vitamins and meal worms (or other quiet bugs) would she get the nutrients she needs? Or do i definitely need to feed her crickets?

[@spoons923]

where do yall recommend buying these guys? I have two but want to buy more from somewhere else

[@ItzJcraft]

hey! I Was Gonna Ask If I Could Add Wild Plants into my tank with my 2 whites tree frogs?

[@sandysgrandgirlssandysswee2492]

I have lots of stuff in mines enclosure , but they like to stick on the sides of the glass??

[@unclinicllyill]

I just recently got a little Australian whites tree frog and (using he because we don't know the gender) he kinda just sits there, we usually feed him 5 crickets once per day but he only eats around 2-3 of them (he's 2 months old) he also doesn't move a lot and sleeps at the end of the day. Is this normal? We got a decent size cage for him and yeah. So, Say hi to Pickles :D

[@Avocetexotics]

I love whites tree frogs so much! I would absolutely love to own them in the near future! They are such adorable little nuggets! I've heard of people keeping two in an 18x18x24, what do you think about this?

[@EmmysPets]

I think it’s okay… I think 2 deserve more space than that.

[@Avocetexotics]

@@EmmysPets yeah... it just seemed like a bit to small seeing how far the can jump and how big of frogs they are.

[@froggyvibes2675]

So helpful I want to get one for my birthday and I’ve been looking into it a lot and I think I’m gonna get a female! Do you think lily or Lentil would be a cute name?

[@DYST0P1As]

ahh love the names, I’m get my lil froggies soon too! (:

[@alfredoparrilla9508]

Temperature and size should be mention together

[@Suhailee91]

I got.Blue whites tree froglet and he doesn’t like to eat much ☹️ he’ll eat one to two small Dubia roaches every other day, I’m afraid he’s underweight he’s only 2months old how can I get him to eat more?

[@joblack8681]

Good way of cleaning dead skin off the tank glass is removing the frogs and scraping it off with a razor blade, then rinse with water

[@k4mmq]

My frog acts drunk and falls on its back can u pls help??:(

[@titobejar4917]

Btw...great vidd

[@ErinReviews]

Tips please. Got our beautiful baby Luna she is a whites as well but since getting her 48 hours ago she hasn't ate and I've tried crickets and meal worms. What do I do???

[@EmmysPets]

It’s completely normal for a white’s tree frog to not eat up to the first week even. If it goes beyond that or they continue losing weight I’d recommend getting them checked out at the vet. Try a variety of insects, and if you do have a male they are known for going off food for mating/brumation reasons.

[@sandysgrandgirlssandysswee2492]

What about fruit flies?

[@Fisharefun]

I have a breeding pair they make me want to wake up and get out of bed everyday they be vibin tho

[@kayfe3485]

I do have a question I have one whites tree frog in a 18x18x24 gallon enclosure would I need to upgrade in the future orrr is that enough space? ty

[@EmmysPets]

If you plan on just keeping one frog IMO that is plenty of room!

[@kayfe3485]

@@EmmysPetsalright thank u! :)

[@woolherd6884]

Helloo, thank you alot for this video, I've been researching a ton before getting one of these little dudes! I'm planning on getting a baby one, and was wondering if you had any suggestions for substrate and how many times I should feed it? Thank youuuuuu!

[@EmmysPets]

I personally use 50% cypress mulch 50% top soil mixed and my frogs seem to do well with it. You can use just one or the other just make sure it’s only top soil and nothing with fertilizers/pesticides in the substrate! For a baby 0-6 months I’d say daily and 6-12 months every other day!

[@miasutherland9946]

How many crickets or worms should i feed? No one really specifies how much to feed them

[@SquidgytheGreat]

Mine usually eat 3-4 per sitting but it really depends on how they are feeling! Sometime's its just one or sometimes they literally sit in the bowl and wait for the crickets to walk into their mouths like total fatties lol

[@kileyevans5234]

do you use any certain light? or any light at night time?

[@kileyevans5234]

and do you need a drainage layer for bio active?

[@EmmysPets]

@@kileyevans5234 I personally have a heat mat and thermostat just incase they want some extra warmth but personally no above head lighting, and yes you do need a drainage layer!

[@froggyvibes2675]

@Emmy’s Pets where can I get a whites tree frog

[@jovanymartinez3903]

Joshes frogs online or in pet stores

[@klday84]

Got mine 2 at backwater reptile. Beautiful Snowflake (Olive) and regular green (Pickle). Good price and it's overnight shipping with signing for your baby[ies]. Planning once these 2 get larger, upgrade them to a larger tank (they're in a 20 gallon) and reuse this tank for 2 more of different morphs again. Fun guys!

[@emmiecarps]

are fake plants okay for them?

[@EmmysPets]

Yes! As long as nothing falls off them it should be safe.

[@titobejar4917]

How did u tame him...

It’s not from the wild 哦他说 你哦他 夫人哦没 他好饿 我哦了的

[@isabelle9914]

Have you ever had trouble with them eating?

[@EmmysPets]

Personally no, but I have heard a lot of males go off food during breeding season (winter - spring time).

[@isabelle9914]

@@EmmysPets I cant remember in this video if you mentioned if you gave them heat (mats or light) if so could you explain more into that, and if not what would you buy if your room was too cold

[@EmmysPets]

@@isabelle9914 I did forget to mention it yes. If your room is under 80° I’d recommend either a small basking light or a heat may and thermostat set to about 85° or so

[@isabelle9914]

@@EmmysPets ok i want to get a heat light but im really scared itll hurt their skin since theyre sensitive

[@EmmysPets]

@@isabelle9914 Just make sure to get a reptile thermostat so you can regulate heat! then at the side or under their glass place the heat mat and it will absorb through the glass!

[@nicolewheeler8076]

Why you wearing gloves?

[@EmmysPets]

White’s tree frogs are very sensitive to oils, fragrances, chemicals, etc. on hands. I washed them before handling, but for extra caution I wear powderless gloves!
