Whites tree frogs come from a warm humid environment and can be housed together if they are the same size.
A 10 gallon aquarium is the minimum is the minimum cage size for 1 or 2 frogs. Be sure to use screen lid with the habitat.
Use two thermometers and a hydrometer to monitor humidity levels.
If your house is a little cold you can use a low wattage bulb to provide some heat for the frog. These bulbs should be turned off at night for cooler temperature.
Humidity levels 50 to 80%
Day temperatures 75 to 85 degrees.
Night temperatures 65 to 75 degrees.
Tree frogs are nocturnal so they don't need uvb light as long as their food is dusted with calcium powder bought at petstores. They just need low heat bulbs in cooler areas of a home.
These frogs bulbs should be turned off after 10 hours a day.
I recommend to use atleast 1 inch of eco earth bedding.
Also provide branches for the frog to climb and hide. These frogs like lots of branches. Tree frogs are insectivores, meaning their diet consist of mainly insects.
Their insects should be dusted in calcium.
It is good to feed these frogs at night.
Insects crickets,mealworms,and occasional waxworms. Since this species of frog gets so big they can also eat on occasion baby pinky mice.
Insects should be dusted in calcium twice a week.
These frogs also absorb water through their skin and should be provided with drinking or purified water every day. In a water dish.
You should mist the aquarium 3 times a day Or so.
Water bowls should be emptied and refilled every day.
Clean the bedding once a week and the whole cage once a month.
Size 4 to 5 inches
Life span 8 to 10 years with proper care.
