Do you know how old he is? How big is he?

Not sure how old he is but I'm guessing maybe close to a year because I've read that they won't start croaking until then, and he is a little more than 2 inches long.

We have two White's... had them for almost 2 months or so. We've only fed them crickets so far.. and they'll eat tons of them. We've gotten both small and large ones (since they've grown so much) and theyre happy with both. We put 8 or so in their terrarium at once and they hop around and eat them up. If one eats more than the other, we'll give the other one a couple more with feeding tongs. Crickets might be a little more work than mealworms... But these two seem to love them. We feed our other two, Green tree frogs, crickets as well. You can get a cheap little plastic keeper for them and get the gut-loading cricket food and quencher for all probably $20... We keep about 50 crickets at a time in this plastic keeper, was marketed as a hermit crab cage.. but whatever. Crickets are about 10 cents each around here.

It sounds like your white's is older than ours, as its croaking... so it should definitely be eating more, I'd think. Our Greenie aka Chloe will occasionally chirp once or twice, but not too much. Wasabi is the noisiest out of the bunch so far.. he's been waking me up the last few mornings.

Oh yea.. and we feed them nightly. The White's will eat about 4-5 small ones a night.

I went out and bought him some crickets because I thought meal worms might be the problem, but he wasn't interested in the crickets at all. For the most part, he'd watch them for a little while and if one of them got too close, he would hop away from them. The good news is, he's actually been eating one meal worm a night since I posted this. And last night he actually ate 3 so that was exciting for me. I thought maybe something was wrong with him, but since he's been eating more he seems more alert and more active. Before, he was hiding all the time under his log or almost burrowing down into his substrate, but for the last couple days every time I come home from work or wake up in the morning, he is climbing up onto his branches or bathing in his tub. Hopefully these are all good signs. Thank you for your advice!

Glad to hear he's eating more. That's always a relief!

My guess its stress with a new home and all. But now that he is adjusting, he is eating more.

I am no expert. But that is my guess.
