My girlfriend has two frogs. One is a large leopard frog, at least several years old, and a year or so old peacock tree frog.

Tonight, both frogs were moved from their usual 29 gallon tank to the smaller temporary tank, while we cleaned the 29 gallon and all the things in it (fake tree thing, little ponds, etc) and the tank itself using Wipe Out one cleaner. Everything was rinsed very thoroughly, with a higher pressure setting handheld shower head.

After we moved the frogs to the temporary tank with just one of the cleaned ponds and new moss, everything seemed fine. The tree frog was even croaking like he often does. However, after we finished cleaning and rinsing everything, we moved the frogs back to their normal tank, with the layout of things slightly different than it had been. The two little ponds are on opposite sides now, the one fake tree the large frog likes to sit in is on the opposite side, etc. Again, new moss on the ground, and de-chlor water in the ponds.

After a little while, the tree frog starting acting weird, hopping around from side to side of the tank, and then i realized he was trying to hop INTO the lamp on top. He kept doing this. After so long, it got my girlfriend and I so concerned, we moved him back to the temp tank, and put the night lamp back on there. Again he starts trying to climb the sides of the tank, in an attempt to hop toward the lamp.

I paid close attention to him, and noticed him actually trying to push up the lid of the tank. So, I cant tell if this is his really wanting to get out, or if he's attracted to light or what. At the moment, I've removed the lamp so he doesn't try to go after it, but it seems like he still is on a mission to get out.

So, two different tanks, same thing. He never acting like this before. He'd climb the walls and sit in a familiar spot all the time, but never hop around like this and try to get out, or jump into the lamp.

Please, if you can offer something, do. Eastcoast, and can't call a vet for another 7 hours. :/
