    I only have a small water bowl - big enough for maybe two frogs right up against each other. I make sure to clean it out every few days and refill it.

    Are your frogs new? They may be nervous, hence why they're hiding so much. You could try putting real or fake plants with lots of green leaves in there - you can get fake plants at the pet shop - some have suction cups that you can use to stick the plants on the side of the terrarium. I've found these to be very helpful in making the frogs feel more secure.

    I've had one for like a year or so (steve) who's other pals have died so I just got one a month ago (peter) for another friend. They get along fine and everything.. funny thing peter tried to get on steve's back like you see those pictures with moms and their babies haha.

    But anyway I went to go check their cage and my moss had gotten moldy? I just put it in there like 2 days ago.. soo I took out all the moss and cleaned it out with hot water and put them back in with some bark bedding instead and they are no longer hiding for now. I have a ton of fake plants in there so I know they have plenty of places to hide.. peter is just weird and enjoys the Styrofoam haha.

    I'm just becoming worried I guess because I started reading so much and I just felt like I was doing everything wrong, but I guess if Steve has lived so long I can't being doing everything wrong.

    Thank you again!
