missing ACF

[rodsboys]

I had one survive close to a week a couple of years ago. She fell 18" out of the tank, 3' to the floor, traveled 30' to a closet, climbed in a 8" deep box and chilled under some old stuffed animals. Still alive and well today. Keep looking. They can surprise you. If you have not already get a good lid and lower your water level 3'4" below the rim of the tank.

Wow a whole week!

@ Dani: I think if you look really hard you should find the little guy so long as that cat didn't find it first. I think they will most likely try to hide UNDER something. Like I said when I found mine he was under a lazyboy chair, luckily I have hardwood floors, I would think carpet would dry them out faster. ACF are really hardy creatures though so if you find him soon enough he should be fine.

@ Tony: My dumb frog also fell 18" + 36" to hardwood floor.. went a whole 2 feet to a lazyboy and sat there waiting for me to find her.. I just dusted her off and put her back in the tank and she is still going strong.

@ Terry: That is really interesting. I have a small male frog currently living alone in a 10 gallon tank. I am hoping to have him join my community of 3 female ACF once he is big enough. He is about 2 inches from nose to vent right now and I worry he won't get much bigger (I don't think he is over a year old yet, so I will wait).

I would really be bummed if he was eaten, my females are all 5+ inches and are just fat and huge. Anyways I notice he sings, a lot.. I feel bad for him. I don't think frogs truly get lonely but some times I think he does wish he had another frog to cohabit with. I hope he grows a little bit bigger because I honestly do feel if I placed him in my 40B he would not survive.

I find that these frogs are social very interesting though, I was once in a pet store near me and they had apparently taken all their ACF that grew to adult size and placed them in to one tank. It was quite weird but these frogs were dog piled on top of each other in one corner and there were over 10 frogs easily.

If I found adults in a store I could not resist it. Would end up with new frogs that I don't need. lol

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have search evrywhere in my home.... I mean everywhwere. I had my husband move the couchces, checked in closets, in rooms where there is a gap under the door. I am sad to say I think the cats got him. I am not sure what I should do now. No where local sells adult frogs and i do not have the ability to get a baby and keep him seperate until big enough. My daughter is only 20 months yet she knows there is a frog missing.. Every day she is point to the frog tank asking where's frog
