I remove the frog from the water and within minutes it hops back in. Can you over soak a frog? The enclosure is kept at 78 degrees Fahrenheit with 80% humility and peat moss substrate. Until yesterday (before I started heating the water) he would burrow and spent almost no time in the water other than pooping. Thanks.
Your frog will call when it is ready. Usually between late spring and late summer. Mine calls periodically within these months. I can honestly say that I have never been able to make him call. Not even if I were to play GABF calls. You will just have to wait. The call is also a very low pitch call which can be easily missedif you are not paying attention.
