I visited a Pet Store a few days back to purchase some superworms for my leo and they had this tiny whites tree frog there.
I thought he looked a bit bad and he was really dirty so I decided to give him/her a home.
I bought what they called forest bark for a substrate,the internet suggested bamboo as favourable climbing limbs but the best I could come up with was birch branches for him at the moment.
I have transplanted pieces of my spider plant in his setup but the poor little guy looks so lost.
He doesn't bother with his little pond like water dish at all and all he wants to do is hide or sleep.
He simply refused to eat superworms and will only eat one cricket per feeding which is daily.
I am beginning to wonder if he may of been happier at the prt store.
I have been keeping leo's and breeding them for years successfully but I can't seem to get to first base with the little frog.
Can anyone please tell me what T am doing wrong?
I am dusting his crickets with the calcium,I have a uv heat bulb,his water is clean,and I offer him food but he doesn't eat much.
Please help if you can.
