    The rule i go by is if you squeeze it in your hand it should clump but not have any water dripping off.

    You need to sink the water dish into the substrate so they can easily access the water source. They'll have a hard Time getting in and out of it the way you have it now. Also make sure it is no deeper than half the height of your frogs. They're terrestrial and are not good swimmers.

    Some water should drip out when you squeeze the eco earth just not a stream. It needs to be moist or heavily damp. Just damp won't cut it and the substrate will dry quickly. Just as long as it isn't muddy all will be fine.
