    Default Hiding frog cause for anxiety

    My monkey tree frog has disappeared somewhere in the substrate. At least I hope that's where it is. This occurred a week ago and then later I found it on it's favorite leaf. Scares the dickens out of me and I a;waus fear any of my critters may have somehow found an escape route. Is hiding a normal thing for these little frogs?

    Mine has never burrowed into the substrate, but will hide in plants. Wait till after dark and check him/her out using a flashlight. Do not shine the light directly on frog if you want to observe natural behavior.

    I used to be notorious for ripping apart my cages if I couldn't find my frogs. If he continues to do it, check the conditions in the tank, i.e. the humidity, temperature, etc. If everything appears normal and he continues to eat, then don't worry too much. I know Phyllomedusa can deal with drier temperatures, but it could be humidity driving the frog to burrow down into the presumably moister soil.

    Best,
    Alex

    The little bugger was under the cork bark, in his brown color, eyeballing a hole the crickets like to hide in. Thanks for the tips. Alex, I envy your trip to Costa Rica.

    Don't. Alex got bit by a mosquito and had to have his leg amputated because of it. Alex used to run in the Boston Marathon every spring, but can no longer do so. Sure he got a lot of good photos and saw some cool stuff, but is that worth losing a leg for? I think so.

    The preceding was a total embellishment, meant to be humorous. Alex has both of his legs. No animals were hurt in the making of this joke. This joke is not available in all 50 states, sorry Tennessee.
