Indonesian Whites Tree Frog LRG - Litoria caerulea

Social Behavior: These frogs are easily kept in groups, especially when young. Make sure that all frogs are getting adequate food - sometimes froglets will outcompete each other. Josh's Frogs recommends purchasing multiple frogs if you are interested in breeding them – this greatly increases the chances of getting a pair.

Breeding: White's Tree Frogs travel down to the forest floor in search of pools of water to breed. Eggs are laid among vegetation that's partially submerged - eggs can be laid at or below the water's surface. Tadpoles quickly grow in the pools, and can leave the water in 6-8 weeks. Young White's Tree Frogs live around the edges of the pools, before making their way back up into the canopy. In captivity, white's tree frogs are typically bred in a rain chamber.

Natural Range: In the wild, White's Tree Frogs inhabit the canopy of tropical rainforests, and are endemic to Indonesia, Paupa New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand. They rely on camouflage to blend in, and do a great job during inactivity during the day!

History in the Hobby: White's Tree Frogs have had a mixed history in the hobby. Available typically as wild caught animals imported from Indonesia, captive bred white's tree frogs tend to be hardy captives.
