    Default Worst nightmare- frog escaped!

    Recently got a new tank and forgot to place a heavy object on top so they wouldnt escape- well my biggest white, king plum, got out! I don’t know how long it’s been but im worried seeing as we have two dogs. Any ideas on how to find him?!

    I've read some threads about this on this forum and other forums. I believe you're supposed to place water bowls around the house since they'll be looking for moisture and come to them. I'd keep an eye on your dogs and see if they act weird in any way. Look in dark, moist places. I guess you could release crickets in your house if you really wanted to; to give him food.

    Not yet- noticed he was gone late at night and had to wake up early. Looked but not hard enough.

    When I left the lid off my tree frog's old tank, he went inbetween the wall and his tank. I looked there, but it was only briefly. Is there anywhere near his tank that you didn't throughly search?

    I'm glad I was able to help! it's amazing how easily these animals can hide if they really want to.

    that's great! (I wouldn't release crickets in your house just because your frog is loose though. They can go a while without eating.)
