Need info - White's tree frogs

[jennifer]

I'll bet you never thought you'd see me in the frog section...

A friend of mine wants to get White's tree frogs. I'm clueless here, but want to help her. Does anyone have a link to a good caresheet somewhere on the 'net? Are they commonly captive bred? How would one find a good breeder? Any help appreciated!

Hi Jenni,
They are very commonly captive bred but there are wild caught ones available from Indonesia (usually thin adults). There is even a pretty nice inexpensive book they can get that covers this species (see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1882770366/qid=1083323146/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/002-0739006-9245662?v=glance&s=books )

They are a hardy and easy to care for frog although the babies can on occasion be delicate if they have been mishandled.
I would recommend them as a starter frog.
