    Mmmm....hmmmmm.... How well are you taking constructive criticism?

    The frogs are stunning and look healthy and eating, which is awesome!
    You got all the right stuff, even mist King, which is great!
    the tank is big and nice!

    Now... Are you ready for some suggestions? Okay then.... How to put it nicely..... Well.... These are tree frogs, some people call them red eye leaf frogs.... They need trees ( branches), and lots of leaves. Pretty much they need forest! Your enclosure is not exactly looking like is a forest... See where I am getting at?
    Short not sugar coated version - It is too open, it's very stressful for them, of course they don't move much, it's scary, it's better to pretend they are leaves, may be nobody would eat them this way.
    If you really want to make it all pretty, it's not a rocket science, we can help you with that,but red eyes would love to have naturalistic vivarium! With the size of the tank like that ( and living in BC) you can do amazing stuff with that.
    But as a bare minimum if you don't want to do anything major, just get more branches, silk plants or live plants. You can get magnitural planters holders, they stick to the wall, then you can put hanging plant in to fill the space. Just make sure you dip the plant in mild bleach solution, then rinse.

    but you should really think about doing naturalistic tank, I'm sure you will love it and your frogs will be very happy
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    This may sound funny since we're on a forum but I would get that book I recommended and you might find there will be no need for questions and it will save you the headache from reading many conflicting information online, whilst being enjoyable to read. It's not that I don't want to help but a book is always going to be your best bet. Caring for amphibians is more complicated than most simple online caresheets can offer and if you think about it, probably the most knowledgable people are far too busy to be giving away their hard work free online, instead I would imagine they'd be breeding, finding out new information and writing proper books with in depth detail. If you've read a book or two and problems are still there, then the forum can come in handy
