    Default Any chance he's still alive??

    I went on vacation a week ago, and I had my grandma frogsitting my two whites. She's done it twice before. On Friday (23rd) she texted me and said that she could not find one of the frogs, but I didn't get too worried because they're good at hiding and sometimes she doesn't see them. I was still apprehensive when I looked in the cage when I got home today, and I couldn't find Sprite (the frog) either. I ripped apart the cage and still can not find him. Not buried, not in a tree branch, not in the lighting fixture. I don't understand how he escaped. There is a hole in the light fixture & screen the size of a quarter, but I never thought he could fit through there, he was a big guy, but maybe he could? There are two dogs and two cats roaming the house, and there wasn't any water sitting out for him. I just put 4 water dishes out, in hope that he will go in one, if he's still alive... Do you think there is a chance he is?

    I feel like I let the poor guy down.

    Do the cats and dogs have access to the room where his cage was? Maybe if there is a bathroom or kitchen nearby, search them up and down. My guess is they would go somewhere wet with a chance of bugs. When my Peron's tree frog got out, I found him sunning himself on the windowsill the next morning with a very full belly.

    Cats do, I searched that bathroom everywhere. There isn't really a damp place anywhere, and no bugs. I've checked all of the windows I'm just concerned he couldn't find water, its been since Friday..

    I wouldn't give up hope. Try looking around heaters too, or somewhere where he can get warm. I know it's kind of different, but I have a crawfish in a fish tank and he is a big guy. I noticed one day he was missing (since I hadn't seen him in about 2 days). Tore the tank apart and found nothing. Apparently he scaled the wall of the glass, got out of the tank and fell about 4 feet to the ground. Crawled all the way across my basement and some how managed to climb 8in high into a bucket of disgusting water (it catches the sweat off of our water tank so the water was all corroded and blue). A year later he is still alive and doing well. Bottom line - don't give up hope. Search the room he is in thoroughly, you know how well they can climb and hide. My guess would be he is probably still in that room. Keep us posted! Good luck!

    Frogs can be quite the squishy fellows. My little gray was about 2 inches tall and 3 long. He could easily squeeze through an opening the size of a nickel.

    He might have a chance of being alive, if your cats didn't get him. Two days is a good while without water, but I don't think it's so long that he'd totally dry up.
    I have a frog. She's fat and green. Her name is Gertrude, because she is fat and green.

    Thanks for the hope guys! I played some croaking noises with no success, except for the other frog singing along. I put 3 more plates of water out, and all of the cats are locked down stairs now, so I'm hoping he's upstairs. I looked all over the room but couldn't find him. If I don't find him in the morning upstairs or in any water dishes I'll focus on downstairs more. I'm hoping the cats didn't find him. :\ I also patched the screen.

    When my female WTF escaped (twice), she was gone for three days and then five days the second time. She was in my bedroom along with two kittens who found her both times for me. One time she was in the corner of the room, hiding behind a bucket. The second time, she was hanging out on the back of the door where I had a reuseable shopping bag hanging up at.

    Look in unusual places.

    And if your cats are allowed back in the room, watch them and see if they pay attention to any particular spot in the room. Chances are that they found your frog for you.
