My tree frog needs help

Aw, I hope you find out how to help him.

Can you give me some information about your husbandry, such as the temperature, humidity, and diet? Do your frogs have access to an area where they can soak themselves in fresh clean water? What kind of water are you using?

They live in a palidarium with cleat water, they eat dusted crickets and meal worms. Humidity around 60 and temp around 80

I checked out your video showing the frog’s enclosure, so I am assuming that is the same enclosure your frogs are currently living in. 60% humidity is okay, though your enclosure looks really wet. Do they have a dry area they can go to? Having microclimates with in your enclosure allows the animals to choose where they want to go. It is perfectly fine for these frogs to have the humidity drop a bit more, they come from a climate that can experience a dry period which is why they produce a protective coating. Therefore, it is is good for the humidity to drop and then go back up when you mist the enclosure once a day. Like it would in nature when it rains daily. That being said White’s Tree Frogs like to soak. I’m not sure if you have a specific bowl for them to soak in, I understand that they have a huge water area surrounding them, but deep water isn’t ideal for soaking and I can’t tell if there is a shallow area for them to be able to sit in the water. In nature they live in trees and soak in water that catches in the plants or tree hollows/cracks. In captivity it’s easier to just provide a nice large bowl. The bowl needs to be cleaned and refilled daily because they will defecate in the bowl leading to bacteria. These frogs need really good water quality. I would not use tap water even though you get the chlorine out of the water, municipal water can often contain other stuff that is at safe levels for people but not frogs. Use spring water! The water from your paludarium looks acidic from tannins that wood will leech into water. Do you test your water with water test strips? The pH should be close to 7 a bit over or under is okay. Dusting the insects is great! I assume you are using a multivitamin and calcium with D3 (if not using UVB). Do you gut-load your feeders? If not I would start doing that, if you do great!

Hello frog
