What do whites tree frogs eat

Hot rocks should be avoided. Frogs should never come into direct contact with any heating element. It is important to purchase a temperature gun, or digital thermometers that possess probes, for accurate temperature readings. Plastic dial thermometers, or any thermometer with a fixed placement, are often unreliable and do not adequately gauge thermal gradients inside entire enclosures.

A light misting every few days can help ensure that there is always a humid area for the frog to go to. Substrate should be damp enough to clump together when squeezed into a handful, but not so wet that water drips out when doing so. A water bowl that is always available and cleaned daily is of utmost importance to this species. A few warm days without a water dish can lead to a crispy, dried up frog, and frequent soaks in soiled water can result in nasty infections, which frogs are doubly susceptible to due to the permeability of their skin.

Be sure to use chlorine- and chloramines-free water such as bottled spring water, charcoal-filtered tap water, or tap water that has been aerated for at least 48 hours. They will eagerly accept crickets, earth worms, wax worms, mealworms, silkworms, slugs, moths, and cockroaches. Pinkie mice as a food item are not required or recommended due to the risk of obesity.

Adult frogs can be fed large crickets or similarly sized insect times weekly. Juvenile frogs should be fed on a daily basis, but in smaller quantities. Adult frogs should have their food coated with reptile calcium powder once every other feeding, and a reptile multivitamin should be used on the food once weekly.

Juveniles should have their food supplemented with calcium each feeding, and vitamins once weekly. In captivity, there is a selectively bred line known as a Snowflake which exhibits extreme amounts of white speckling all over its body. These tropical frogs enjoy warm humid climates although they are not usually found in tropical rainforests.

They can be found in tree canopies near bodies of water but have also been found in terrestrial habitats with no water nearby. They prefer old Eucalyptus trees with water filled hollows to hide in. They are commonly found throughout their distribution area of over 1,, square miles.

Housing must be sealed and escape proof with a secured top or aquarium hood. A perfect terrarium for one adult or two young frogs is the Zilla Vertical Tropical Kit.

To provide the whites tree frog with optimal nutrition and to keep them in the best of health, they will require diet supplementaion in the form of calcium , vitamins and minerals. These are most commonly available as powders. Any livefood for the gocko should be 'gut-loaded' with an insect food. This basically involves feeding the livefood a nutrient rich diet before they are fed to the whites tree frog. Our livefood is delivered to you already gut-loaded but this should be continued at home.
