So I moved my little guys out of quarantine into a temporary plastic tub viv, which is planted, and as best I can tell froggie safe (homemade clay substrate, covered in sterilized leaf litter). The thing is my frogs are not establishing a favorite sleeping spot, like they did in the quarantine tank, and I don't understand why. Now today, I found one of them sleeping out in the open, on a rock! Is this normal? Does this mean I have a chillaxed frog, or does it mean he is going to die, or somewhere in between. The best I can guess is it is a bit more open than they would prefer, but I figured since the walls are kind of opaque, that wouldn't be a big issue. What do you guys think? Keep in mind this is a temporary situation, until it warms up and I can build the viv of ages for them, which will have a lot more climbing space, this was just a lash up. Also keep in mind, the moss in the photo has been removed, it died, and so I saw no reason to keep it.
Well, at the risk of sounding snarky, where would you like them to sleep? They are tree frogs in a terrestrial tank. Tilt some of those bark pieces on end so they have a place to climb. They are also in a new environment and will need some acclimation time as well

Snarky is acceptable, as long as it is helpful. I'll try rearranging the bark. It is just odd, they used to sleep plastered in the corner of the quarantine tank, one under the other, and while one of them seems to be homing in on the same corner, the other I think sleeps in a different location every day. I'll keep you guys updated.

My two whites tree frogs I have sometimes sleep together and other times sleep apart in different spots in the
viv. They have there patterns buts sometimes I think they just get other ideas and chill on there own.
