    Check the soil, run a finger all through the soil and if you don't see a frog pop it's head out or hop out and start climbing the glass then check the plants, they might just be hiding behind one of the plants. Keep yours dogs out of the room the frogs are in, put a container of water out and a container of food for the frogs and close the door. Stay in the room, if the frogs are still in the room then they will come out for the water and food. I hope your frogs are okay and that you find them in good health (although a bit hungry).

    I used to keep my two white's outside in a screened-in porch. Everything was peachy-keen until one morning I woke up to find only one frog in the tank. Frantically, I just about ripped up the tank....finding only one(now annoyed) frog. I basically lost hope after spending hours scanning the porch for the littlest sign of a froggy. Night came, and Kisses(my frog) was nowhere to be found. D: The next day I repeated the process....still no frog, but this time I put out water dishes. I then woke up the NEXT day to find again NO FROG. I was heartbroken and basically gave up. I thought for sure Kisses got out of the porch and was now out in the wild.....alone. Then, one night as I went out tomist Sprite(the other frog) THERE HE WAS! Shining in the dim light from the porch, was...KISSES!! Sitting happily on a mini fridge with a bug sticking out of his mouth, I scooped him up and put him into his enclosure. Five days it took.....but I found him....what I'm telling you is DO.NOT.LOSE.HOPE. There is always a chance that your froggy friend is near Good luck finding your frog!!!

    Well, I just checked the enclosure, and found a frog on top of the background ledge

    It must have just been hiding and/or in places where I couldn't see it.

    mine are pretty good hiders. even without having that much stuff in the tank. when i first got them i probably stressed them out searching for them as much as they stressed me out when they were hidden lol. now ive just learned their spots. and mine seem to only come out when all the lights are off and its pitch black. so if i sneak up on them with a flashlight they are usually at the bottom hunting for crickets. did you only find one and not the other? mine are usually on the backs of the leaves when i cant find them.

    Frogs are brilliant hiders - I once looked in my tank to find none there...for the life of me i couldn't work out how they escaped. I pulled the tank away from the wall and that's when I saw 7 wee bodies stuck to the glass hiding behind the background climbing wall I had. I had thought there was no room behind there hence why i hadn't looked behind there before!

    I hope that's you found the frogs and not just one! - If you still haven't found the other try putting some carrier bags in various places around your house. If the frog goes hunting you may just hear rustling if he/she climbs over a carrier bag!

    Being a tree frog remember to look up high, perhaps in folds of curtains or on blinds?

    No, unfortunately I only found the one which I think was just hiding or where I couldn't see it. The other one has been missing now for a few days and the water containers I put out for it have been untouched.

    I know this was a year ago, but I'm wondering if you ever found your frog? My is missing, and I'm wondering if there is hope.
