Help with Habitat

I posted this in Frogs also, then realized this may be the best place.


My son's two Leopard frogs did not die as I had feared, and they are currently acclimating to their new terrarium setup. To that end, I need some advice from you more experience frog owners.
What I'm noticing is that they hide constantly.
One of them (Jerry) likes to hide under the large rocks along the shallow water, and the other (Ed) likes to burrow under the cave, not in the cave, under it. I didn't realize they burrow! So with all the new supplies and what not, there is not much going on other than hiding, which is not the most exciting. Here's a photo, its dark b/c I had the lights out, and there is roughly half land/half water. any suggestions? I've seen some quite dynamic tank setups on google, and I do have the compressed cocohusk that I have not put in there. I'm wondering if I should return the screen lid and heat lamp and just use an aquarium light? I've read that if its too bright they will just hide, or are they just getting used to their new home?
Here is what they have:
A 10gal aquarium tank(I know recommendations are 20gal for 2 frogs, but space requirements don't allow it)
Screen lid
75watt "basking" lamp
aquarium rock to build up the land
cedar bedding chips for the land mass
plastic aquarium "cave" for hiding and a plastic football decoration (also for aquariums)
and about 7 inches deep of water

Thanks!

I am not very familiar with leopard frogs, but I do know that frogs naturally like to hide because it reduces stress for them and helps them feel protected from predators. Also, they are probably just getting used to their new environment. A recommendation I would have is that you add some artificial plants to give the frogs more cover. If you add plants, it would be a good idea to put some fake ones in the water too because leopard frogs love to swim. I found a good website on keeping these pets:
Leopard Frog Care Sheet - Care, Diet, Housing Enclosures, Sexing, Lighting, Temperatures, Vitamin and Calcium Supplements. This care sheet does state that leopard frogs do burrow sometimes, so there's really nothing to worry about.

Hope this helps!
