Question
Hello, I am picking up a pair of whites tree frogs this evening i know a few things basics like temps and such but still have a few questions I was hoping you could help me with

One is 1 year old the other is 6 months old how many crickets should they have and what size? Do you know how offen they should eat also?

How big should they be at those ages?  

Humidity should be around 60% or more? I don't know this I'm wondering. i want an exo terra fogger later on to highten humidity and to have the fogged affect on the cage floor is this ok to use with these types of frogs?

Thank you for your help I look forward to your response.

Answer
Hi,
thank you for your question.
60% humudity is good for White's tree frog and you can very well use the fogger, since the frogs will spend most of their time high up in the enclosure anyway. To keep the tank moist, you should mist it daily, though.
As far as I know, they should both be fully grown, but become able to breed at an age of around 1 year.
How often you have to feed them depends on the size and amount of the prey. It's better to feed small amounts often, like one cricket at each feeding, with one diet day per week. Frogs are always ready to eat as much as they can, but White's tree frogs tend to get fat. If the frogs develope "eyeborws" (ridges behind their eyes), it's time to diet.  Vary their prey: crickets, locusts, roaches, silkworms, earthworms, maybe big flies and the occasional baby mouse and let them hunt for themselves as often as possible.
I hope I was of some help to you
