Substrate is kept damp/moist like I keep my pacmans.

    I will be changing the substrate again today and checking them out -- haven't really seen either of them out lately, but at least one has been eating as crickets have been gone in a short time after giving them crickets.

    Edit: substrate was changed, found pretty much what I expected -- 2 lively tomato frogs, one now about 2 inches long, the other still about 1 1/2 inches but maybe grew a bit since I last saw it. Maybe the smaller one is eating when I'm not watching -- doesn't seem like it's lost any weight.
    It is possible that the one is eating when you're not around, but beware of water weight. This can give the impression that the frog isn't losing weight when it actually is.

    keep a close eye on that one.

    Don't worry, I will continue to watch that little one.

    Edit: Just put some crickets in -- both were eating them -- but will continue to watch to make sure all is ok.
