Actually my girlfriend is the excited owner of several Whites. This is all very new to her (and I). I am very proud of her and consider her to be an intelligent pet owner (she has a couple other lizards, a dog and a fish). She started this hobby the right way: she did some research, decided what she wanted, got the housing ready, bought the supplies and then the animals.
She bought one little WTF from a local pet store. Then she bought two more from another pet store in the city. Then we bought two more adults online (there was confusion on our part about the type of frogs she wanted and we received 2 adult whites -- she wanted blue phase WTF)
Anyways, I noticed a leasion right away on the leg of one she bought from the city. Within three days the sores were all over the poor frog. We were able to exchange it. They told us it was an import, wild caught animal.
Of the two adult WTF's that we received from the internet purchace, one male one female, the female had a leasion on her leg (the same as the other animal from the city). We quarentiened the two and put them in sterile cages with paper towels and fresh clean water. The company had a guarentee on the sale but it costs more to ship it back then the frog is worth so the company told us to take care of it and it should heal up. It didn't. The guy who set up the order and personally sexed the animals said he didn't notice anything wrong with her and figured it was a shipping wound. Well the frog wouldn't eat. Finally after 10 days (she did eat one earth worm toward the end) she bloated up and died. She stunk so bad, like urine. The leasion had turned black. I was suprized she died. I really thought after she ate the worm that the sore turning black meant it was healing. I had to flush her because my girlfriend was so upset. So now it has been 14 days and finally the little male ate three crickets last night. I think he will be okay. He sure is jumpy. She named him "Psycho".
Now the smallest one she bought from the local store has not eaten in 2 to 3 weeks. He ate good the first week. The last time I saw him eat he downed a large cricket (now I've heard its bad to feed them something too big) We have been force feeding him with a store bought calorie formula for amphibians. He has been pooping which I believe is a good sign. In the last couple days he has lost all color. He does at least hop to his water bowl and sits his butt in it then back to his perch. Today she noticed that he is bloating. She says he is a "dead frog sitting"
Okay so that story being told, the other two from the city are doing well. She has them in a terrairium, a large sphear fish bowl maybe 10 gallons, with dirt, moss, and a couple tropical plants. They LOVE it, however if we turn off the warm day lamp they both want to get out (I guess for warmth) This makes me wonder about all the things we have read all say that a day temp of about 80 is fine and a night temp of no less then like 68 F is fine. Well, if they are jumping out then they must want a night temp of more then our night time ambiant temp of some 70 degrees F. So she got them a night glow bulb. Even with that cranking last night one of the frogs excaped again and is on the loose somewhere in the apartment (I doubt the dog would eat it but she wasn't happy when I reminded her about the california king that escaped never to be found last november) Anyways I hope she finds it. Now after I kept harping her about getting a screen cover she has built one. She doesnt want me to give her a hard time about it escaping because this happened last week also and I found it in my shoe -- mad her mad because she looked all day. I came in the room and looked for like 5 seconds after she told me the only place she didnt look was in my shoe -- he he he 
I'm wondering if anyone else reading this has experience or thought on red leg disease -- I'm thinking that the leasions on bothe the internet frog and the city bought frog plus the bloating death and then the absence of appitite in 3 of the 6 frogs?
I guess I also need to find a vet to check for paracites and other stuff like e. coli and salmonella?
In conclusion, White's Tree Frogs are hard to maintain, at least for the novice. The "froggie hospital" is using up all my extra cages.
was alive when I got home this evening. He did not look bloated. He was not responding much to anything. I picked him up from lying face down in the moss. I set him up and left him alone. We ran out to run some errands and get more crickets. When we got home he was dead in the water bowl. I guess he went for one last swim.
) if she had read all those sources/books! where are you located? maybe someone on here can find you a good reputable pet store in your area. try and stick to one place, that way if something goes wrong you know where it cane from.
