Hello everyone. A question about my whites tree frog. I have had my frog for around 3 years now. Before he came to me he belonged to my friend. She gave him to someone as she didn't want him anymore but he wasn't looked after properly by his new owner so she took him back and I said that I would take him in. I was told that he used to be bright green but when the second owner had him he turned brown due to neglect. My friend seemed to think that his colour would come back but in the three years that I have had him he has remained brown. Is this normal? Will he ever be green again?
I hope someone can help. Thank you.

I would've agreed with your friend and said the colour should return, but 3 years is a long time to wait.

How are you keeping the little fella?

And what does he eat? It could be something missing in his diets that's affecting him

Apparently the mood of the frog also affects the colour.
Is he sticking more to the glass of the tank or the decorations in there?
