Depending, do you mean the WHITE'S tree frog (AKA dumpy tree frog or and Austrailian green tree frog)? If that's the type of frog then make your hands wet with water that has been treated to be safe for the frog, then carefuly cup your hands around it with a hole between your fingers the size of her head. If it strugles, try to put it down somewhere safe, possibly its tank or a jar to keep it in while you clean the tank. If your hand is mysteriously wetter, the frog released its swim bladder on you (Defense mechanism), its not urine. If you drop the frog, just pick it up again. Hope this answers your question!

∙ 8y agoWhite's Tree Frog, otherwise known as a White Dumpy Tree Frog are great for people who have never had a pet frog before, as long as you have enough time in the day to take care of them, if not, toads are an excellent substitution, because you don't have to worry about the humidity for toads. Tree frogs need to be in environments 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit in order to survive, if not they will dry up and die. You can give them humidity by misting them with water several times a day, or buying an automatic mister that is great for tree frogs.

∙ 13y agoWhites Tree Frogs are quite happy living alone, but they do enjoy company. If you want to get a companion for your frog, make sure you get another Whites Tree Frog or a similar size frog. If you get more than 2 frogs you will probably need a larger tank. A 25 gallon tank is good for 2-3 Whites Tree Frogs.

∙ 13y agoWhites Tree Frogs make great pets, but like all animals, they require love and care. Ask yourself these questions before getting your pet.
Do I have a tank for it? - Whites Tree Frogs love to climb and a tank with a secure lid is a must. These frogs prefer tall tanks but a 10 gallon or larger would be fine.
Do I have the supplies? - The basic supplies you will need are a tank with a secure lid, water dish, spray bottle, heat lamp, a thermometer, and things for your frog to climb on. You can get all of these things at your local pet shop.
Am I home enough to care for it? - Whites Tree Frogs need daily things such as a daily misting of water and clean water. The heat lamp must be on during the day and off at night. (75 degrees F during the day and 68 at night.) If you are not home a lot, a frog may not be the pet for you.
Can I feed it? - These frogs eat crickets, worms, and other small bugs. Large Whites Tree Frogs eat baby mice. (Pinkies)

∙ 13y agoYES! Whites Tree Frogs are the #1 most recommended frog for beginners. They like to be with people and enjoy being held. But do your research on them before choosing your next best friend!

∙ 13y agoAs much as you want! Just wash your hands with water only before handling them, then with soap and water afterwards. Don't handle your frog if he looks sick or stressed.

∙ 13y agoNot usually. If a Whites Tree Frog is happy, warm, and well fed he will be bright green to blueish green. A sick, hungry, or cold frog will turn dull green or brown.

Why do frogs make good pets?
If you are a beginner frog keeper, you need a friendly, easy-to-take-care-of frog. Green tree frogs, White's tree frogs, and African Dwarf frogs are some that are good starter frogs. Beginners should NEVER get Pacman frogs, bullfrogs, Pixie frogs, or Red-eyed tree frogs. You should only get these frogs if you are an experienced frog keeper. Pacman frogs bite and snap and growl, bullfrogs are huge and vicious, and can give you a nasty bite (so can Pacman frogs!), Pixie frogs are big and also vicious, and Red-eyed tree frogs are VERY VERY VERY fragile and break joints easily. So again, Green tree frogs, White's tree frogs, and African Dwarf frogs are the way to go!
Will white dumpy tree frogs breed in captivity?
I have two whites dumpy frogs and they have been breeding since I first got them.
Do whites tree frogs have to have mates when you buy them?
White's tree frogs do not have to have a mate. I have had one for five years, now. He's a terrific fellow and a good pet - easy to care for, friendly, and entertaining. We live in a rural area with a pond behind the house. In the summer one can hear frogs croaking all night until dawn. Flip, my White's tree frog, happily sings along.
