    Default wild leaps

    Ok this may be the silliest question ever asked. My little guys love to cruise around the sides of the tank, but sometimes they are a bit clumsy, take a wild leap and miss the intended target and fall all the way to the bottom. Can they hurt themselves?

    Treefrogs are built to handle falls. On many occasions I've seen Hyla versicolor jump off the top of 7' high door frames and make a loud SPLAT onto bare concrete only to hop away as if nothing happened, and still be found on the same door frame weeks later. Their usual approach to worry about finding a landing spot after they've already flung themselves at flying prey so being able to take a hit is a good ability. As long as there's nothing for them to impale themselves on, they should be fine.

    Good to know. I didn't want to ask.
