I recently got some FBTs (5 total) and was planning on posting a nice Hi, here's my frogs and setup etc. etc. However now I'm making a terrible first post

Most most adventurous FBT a nice medium shade has escaped their new enclosure! I originally had three in a 40 gallon tank and rehabed them to a more reasonable size and added two more. They seem to enjoy their new place a lot more but have a much easier time climbing the walls/corners. I was worried as the tank hood had small slits for cabling and a big scare as the little guy in question was hoping around on the floor two nights ago. I assumed I left the hood off too long during feeding or something and didn't notice him leave, but worried if he had the strength to push up the corner or slide through the slit, I taped the slits up and the corners down for temporary piece of mind. Today after feeding I was in a rush to work and forgot to tape the slits up... why oh why...


He's been MIA from 4-12:30. As soon as I got home and checked on the tank, panic searching set in and I've looked over a good deal of the room other rooms upstairs. As of now I have about seven shallow plates with some dechlorinated water and fake moss in them in strategic locations and am about to start a massive search.

From what my googling gathered from other threads like this, the water dishes are decent traps and the first start. I never found a decent answer as to how long one might survive out of their environment. any ideas?

Any other ideas as to where to look/how to attract? They don't exactly go after non-moving crickets so I'm not sure sacrificing a cricket or adding blood worms to each plate would do anything... :/


I'm about an hour and a half into looking and haven't been lucky enough to just see him hoping around. He was a bully to the other little guys but I'm sure they miss him and I'd prefer not to let him go this way...

The original trio, the explorer currently MIA is on the right :/
