I had what I thought was a similar situation with my 3rd Whites when I brought him home. He did not appear to be moving and I thought he just sitting in the same spot. Then I started to notice some debris in his water dish. He must have been waiting for it to get completely dark and no movement in the room before he would move and was back to what appeared to be the same exact spot every morning. Now he is all over the tank and very vocal, some of them get their securities in different ways. My other 2 have been active and out in the open from the day I bought them!

I have used everything from recycled cereal boxes, newspaper (several layers to get it dark), and currently I have been using a black curtain that was not being used hanging around my tank. I like it so much I have left it around the tank to help cut out the light. (My frogs live in the kitchen and there are always lights off and on)

Thanks for your help guys!

To my surprise, the frog that was sitting in the same spot is now the most active. He/she is literally jumping off the walls! I was so happy to see him/she wide eyed and wondering around.

How long should i cover the sides for?

[NatureLady]

I think 2 weeks, but like I said...mine has been covered for about a month and we all like it being up (the black curtain).

Newspaper sounds easy enough. At least they can have some fun reading whats happening in the world lately haha

Do i just tape it to the sides?

[NatureLady]

Sure!
