Gray tree frog

[InfinitysDaughter]

Last year a friend of mine's nephews had left some little cups about the same size as the water dish for my whites (about 2x3) outside and a few days latter they found frog eggs in it.

I had my green and gray in a 12x12x12 and they seemed to do ok but before her passing Helly was getting a little overweight which tells me it wasn't the best place for them. Many gray's keepers around here keep several in a 12x12x18 and as long as there are plenty of places for them to climb and hide I'd say that 2-3 could share that size.


Oh no matt!!! What did you have him in? Was the lid not secure or something? I hope you dont have a cat... >> Put a dish or two of water out cuse he'll be looking for water if he's been out all day. Turn the lights out cuse he wont come out while there on (he'll think its still day and keep sleeping). And you can use a flashlight to find his eyes in the dark cuse there eyes with shine bright when hit with the light. It'll also temporarily stun him which will let you catch him easier. Look in damp, dark, and warm places.

I hope you find him! Poor little thing.

alright thanks yeah its in my basement there are many little crevices he could of gotten into my main worry is that he got into my sump pump but i will most deffinetly put little bowls out should i just check it in the morning and he has only been out since last night

[matt palm]

so i out 4 bowls out one on top my fridge one by my furnance another on a wire rack near my sump pump and the other by a fish tank

By morning he'll have gone back into hiding. I'd say check every hour or so, looking around really well. I hate to be negative but it is possible he went for the sump pump. If its got an open water source he can get to he would go right for it. I'm praying for you he didn't though so keep positive. I'm sure you'll find him.

good news bad news good news is he is not in the sump pump bad news still cant find him

If he's really a he and has done some full on calling you could try playing recordings of calling grays, that will sometimes help set them off calling on their own. Grays that live around humans are sometimes accustomed to heading towards lights at night to gobble up the moths the lights attract, so a lone light might be something to try.

You should also figure out how he escaped his enclosure and fix the problem so when you find him there won't be another jailbreak.

Keep the water sources available and good luck.

i found the general area he is in i played a bunch of recordings to no avale but i was sitting there and heard him still cant find him but im hoping he will still be there tomorrow and there is a bowl in that area right next to some fake plants

If you remove a male & female during breeding season you are NOT a responsible frog keeper and need to put them back in the wild.

But if you get a male and female from the wild at the same time during breeding season it is possible that they will breed since they've already been threw a natural wild cycle. All wild grays really need to breed is a water source (a water bowl large enough for them both would suffice) and a leaf hanging into the water to hold the eggs. The likelyhood of the eggs all hatching or the tads not dieing from lack of space is pretty low but its still possible for them to breed since they've already been cycled. After this year, though, they wouldn't breed unless they are artificially cycled.

while i was at school my mom said she heard him in my basement while she was up stairs and she is assuming its in our drop cieling because of how loud it was

[matt palm]

do grays eat any type of palnt materials at all because i do not want to let live food go to try to find this frog

[Fae]

No they only eat live food.

shaft well i set up a bunch of waterbowls with some cover around them with all of my lights off still and have calls playing no luck yet
