Need Advice on New Frogs

[asmw25]

I purchased 3 adult frogs from a very good supplier. A lecomelus, glactonotus and auratus costa rican green. the lecomelus and costa rican have been seen or found very easily over the past 5 days. The auratus was out the first day but has not been seen since. I have looked under all leaves, coco pots, large plant and behind back wall. the vivarium substrate is a gravel like material, screen, coco stuff (fine) and topped with some moss. There is a large piece of wood. Should I be concerned? where could he hide that I haven't looked,(could he be under moss)? should I remove all objects to find him. ETC

Secondly, after day 14 how many fruit flys per day should a culture produce. they are melanger(sp) temp is about 77 humitity about 60. I seem to get about 25 per day. Is that normal and if not what could I do to help.
Thanks for any input.

Question: Are these frogs all in the same tank? I highly recommend that if they are to separate them into species-specific vivariums..

Auratus are very shy and good hiders... If it's hiding, it's hiding very well... If it's dead, they decompose extremely fast and it's hard to find the corpse.

Fruit flies produce in cycles:

First emergence (females) 15 days
Second emergence (males) 20 days

A good culture should produce hundreds if not thousands of flies when they boom... I discard my cultures usually after 30 days. I only use cultures that are 21 days old to seed new cultures (this is for mite control and to guarantee a good mix of males and females).

I keep my cultures in a closet. The temperature is usually in the high 70s - low 80s.

Are you cycling your cultures? I never feed out all of a culture to ensure continuous breeding.
