    Terribilis typically do fine in a small group.
    Your enclosure is lg enough for three.
    I agree; I would not move one of them for feeding.
    It is very unusually for them to ever hide?

    The are very bold and typically not afraid of anything.

    They are usually seen sitting right out in the open for hours.... even as froglets.

    Just keep an eye on them to be sure they are growing and gaining.

    The next time you feed watch to be sure the shy one is able to actually catch his fr flies without missing.

    This species likes to have open space on the substrate or even a few flat stones.
    You might consider removing one or two of the plants in the front.
    Give them a shallow dish w/ distilled water. ie a glass petri dish or an upside-down coco hut.
    May I respectively suggest removing the sputum moss. Let them roam on the soil substrate/ or live moss

    They would actually enjoy climbing a little.. they would climb on the wood if they had clear access to it.

    I would also recommend giving them a little more open space. They are usually great group frogs and I have never personally had an issue with this species. I would also remove that moss, possibly add more substrate, and add some more leaf litter.
