warm baths

hi guys!! i have two white tree frogs and they love water. love it. i looked it up and it said i could give them warm “pools” so i filled up an unused tupperware with warm frog-treated water. they are OBSESSED with it! i just want to ask reddit; is this something i can do often, or is it more of a once in a while thing? also, is there anything i should watch out for or is this okay for my froggies? thank u!

my frog was AGGRESSIVE with me?

ok guys. this is a weird one. bear with me. this is schnitzel my 8 mo F whites tree frog. she is the sweetest and clingiest girl. like really. never peed on me, never showed any signs of discomfort, learned to jump in my hand, etc etc. she’s my baby. yesterday i noticed some blue on her belly and realized they might be EGGS. anyways, today i noticed a hair tangled on her foot so i put my hand in to get it off. instead of her usual friendly greeting, she just hopped away. i kept trying to get the hair and she kept jumping away. then she suddenly turned around to face my hand and started LUNGING and it and trying to bite. it was NOT her normal eating bite either (just trust me). i left her alone after that but im a little shaken. could she be feeling more defensive because of her eggs? she’s just going to absorb them because she can’t lay them, but could it be messing with her hormones? are frogs hormonal? i have no clue.

ps. i promise my frogs are my absolute BABIES and i would never try to stress them out! i feel terrible that i scared her. i would like to figure this out so i can avoid stressing my girl in the future! please be kind :)

my frogs are too conscious.

i need help. i put a new camera on my two frogs’ enclosure so i can watch them while i am away. they were both still asleep so i went downstairs to eat dinner. i suddenly get a notification that there is movement. i see my female looking directly at the camera. the app keeps glitching and everytime it resumes, SHE GETS CLOSER. it glitches again and when it returns MY MALE FROG IS STARING AT THE CAMERA TOO. WHERE DID HE COME FROM. WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS. please look at the pictures in order because this is what i saw in the span of three minutes.

WTF not eating :/

Hi all, this is my whites tree frog, Sauce (M, 7mo). He’s very small and has the texture of soft jello. Every night he eats usually 1, but up to 3 dubia roaches. I have tried hand feeding, letting him hunt, enclosed hunting, and tong feeding. He’s just not really interested in food or motivated, but my other frog is the exact opposite. I have also tried worms and crickets but he doesn’t like those either. How can I get him to eat more? Also, does he look too skinny? Thank you!
