Anyone selling a female white's tree frog? Also need some info on them

[Reuben]

Hi, does anyone know a way on how to sex white's tree frogs?
Also aproximately how much/often should I feed 1 female white's tree frog?

I am looking to buy a white's tree frog of anyone, not bothered about age or colour but it HAS to be a female.
Thanks, Reuben

hi Reuben, it's very difficult to tell the sex of a whites tree frog until they reach adulthood, and the only real way you can then tell is if it calls or not (in the case of a female) although I have heard my female do a return call once! so this isn't always the 'best' way to tell, the other reliable way to tell is, females grow bigger than males. but this is only helpful if you keep a group of them. most pet shops only sell juvies, so this won't help i'm afraid.
as for feeding them, this would depend on the age of the frog. my adult I feed about 6-8 4th instar crickets every other day. sometimes more, sometimes less, depends on if she wants them or not.
are you wanting the female for the fact they don't call? or to breed?
I am afraid you might be in for a long wait to find any for sale that are accurately sexed though.

As stated above it's very difficult to sex WTF's. i started a cycle to breed but had to stop due to unforseen circumstances. when i played a tape of WTF's calling everyone of my frogs would call back although two would stop calling after a few seconds, i took them to be female.

size is another way but you do get large males and small female so not reliable.

if its for breeding purposes you need a higher ratio of males than females as the males call in competition which encourages them to breed.

in short either buy a few and hope for the best or buy a proven breeding group, or if for lesser calling, buy a female from a group

Hi again, Thanks for the help on white's tree frogs. By the way i dont want to buy one anymore, sorry but i am still interested in any info about them because i would like to get some dumpys in the future. I decided to get a Grey tree frog instead as they're cheaper, easier to sex and better for a beginner in frogs
