I adopted a 5 year old White's tree frog about 3 weeks ago - very healthy and not overweight at all. He was in a small, horizontal terrarium (typical 10 gallon aquarium) and I got him an 18x18x24 ExoTerra terrarium less than a week later. I put all of his old stuff in the terrarium and some live (safe - I grew them myself) plants. Everything else has been the same except more space.

When I first got him he spent most of his time in the corner on the glass - as high as he could go (which wasn't very far). Since moving him to his new home, he buries himself in the moss near his water bowl all the time. I haven't seen him climb at all yet. Now I should add that I'm a teacher and for the moment he is living in my classroom (only for a couple more weeks)... so I don't see what he's doing at night. I do see evidence that he's getting in his water bowl (pieces of moss), etc. And I think he's eating his crickets - though crickets can hide pretty well.

Anyway, today I picked him up for the first time in about a week. He seemed smaller to me... maybe thinner. I don't want to be paranoid or too worried. I've been trying to leave him alone to get used to his new home... yet don't want to ignore if there's a problem. Any suggestions?
