    Hello and welcome to FF! Interesting situation, because frog is still in the wild and feeding itself. Well, I would not leave water dishes because of possibility frog would pee on water and later continue to use it. That could lead to "Toxic Out Syndrome" and make things worse. So just let the frog manage by itself until your return. Maybe you can move plants closer to porch edge so they get wet with rain. By the way, if misting frog, make sure you use dechlorinated water and not straight tap. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    First of all, thank you Carlos for your reply and advice.

    Unfortunately though it appears I already made some beginner mistakes, as I was misting him with tap water (I won't do this again if he's still there when I get back) and it's too late for the bowls of water as I'm already gone out of town. And as for moving the plants closer to the edge -- they actually are already as close as they can be -- it's just these particular apartments have a ledge on the roof that extends outwards far enough to where it makes getting rain to the porches nearly impossible.

    I guess I'll just have to hope for the best at this point and hope the little fella makes it on his own.

    Sorry; was reading the 1st post around 3:30 AM and did not realize until now you were gone already. Please let us know if you find frog upon return and have a safe trip .
