Fact or Fiction: Tree frogs and drowning

[Rae]

Yes tree frogs can drown! They are not the best swimmers as you may notice they lack the webbed feet like regular frogs. Yes you can still have water dishes for bathing as long as it is shallow or easy to get out of... rocks, sticks, logs, etc to help them climb out.

In my terrarium I keep the dish water at a level where when my smallest is sitting its head is just above the water.

Are you speaking from experience? I'm sorry but like I've said, I'm reading through bunches of these posts right now and there's plenty of people saying "yes they can drown" but no one seems to have a frog that has actually died from that. A few people even say that when you're breeding frogs like Red-Eyed you need to put them over deep water to stimulate their "urges".

Well it's common sense, tree frogs live in trees not water, if you ever see a tree frog fall into water bowls with out getting there footing right away they flop around and will go under and not to mention arms and legs flying to latch onto something. They need water to keep them hydrated not to swim in.
