I have one male White's Tree Frog named Ralph.

I have had Ralph for about two years now. He lives in a twenty gallon tall tank, clean (no pesticides) potting soil for substrate, dechlorinated water for soaking..fed about twice a week..a dozen crickets or so. Eats them all within a day. sometimes dusted. He also gets pinkies maybe once every two-four months. Just one at a time.

Anyway basic run down over with. Ralph does nothing. I know they aren't active creatures but really he does nothing. He never ever leaves the ground aside from maybe resting up against the glass two inches or so....and normally never leaves three locations aside from moving to the other one or eating....water bowl, favorite rock, and corner. Don't these tree frogs naturally climb??? he seems healthy aside from never climbing up high for like the last year or more.

My white's tree frog (Iron Chef) is the same...he eats well and seems healthy, but likes to sit in the same spots, and isn't particularly inclined to move unless there's food around. I'm pretty sure that this is normal behaviour for these frogs, but correct me if I'm wrong ; )
