    I would guess that it is probably Pseudacris.regilla (Pacific Chorus Frog) or Rana.aurora (Northern Red Legged Frog), these two are the most likely species to turn up in a yard in the Northwest. Of course a picture would confirm it. If you have searched as well as you think you can, try leaving them alone for a day or two. These frogs will burrow and are very crafty. If they don't want you to see them, you won't. If you keep searching and tearing apart the enclosure you could stress them to the point that they will stop eating and die. Both species are pretty durable so if it is still in the enclosure it is probably alive. Let us know how it goes.

    Even if the green frog is hiding, I am thinking he must be pretty hungry by now since the brown frog rapidly eats up the food we put in the enclosure. It seems unlikely the green frog can have eaten since we last saw him about two weeks ago.

    Sorry to say it but after 2 weeks it's likely it has escaped or is dead. If it died in the viv than you should notice a smell or small flies in there. Otherwise look for frog jerky on the floor in the room it was in. If it died I am very sorry for your loss.
