Yes we all appear to have the same experiences with our animals , a friend suggested that I might not like the set up but the frogs do therefore leave them in for awhile to see how they get on , remember you are keeping frogs not plants[ his words not mine] he has seen some master pieces with magnificent foliage, foggers, real state of art.He has been succesfull with a basic set up, a few plastic plants and a hand held sprayer and half a coconut over a shallow water dish. So I will keep you all posted
