I had the locking screen lid, I think he was using some kind of froggie juju to get out. I even had it taped. It was weeeeird.

Frogie juju

I have never had a frog escape. Snakes, yes, but never frogs.

I watched one of mine escape last week and let her get away with it so I could see how she did it. She used her head and hands to pull the screen back enough to flatten her body and push her head through the small opening. I didn't realize they could be that FLAT. She got through unharmed and wasn't too happy to see me waiting for her on the other side to put her back in.

I am getting a new proper home for them.

That shows some intelligence on their part.

[Tom Highum]

I have found them to be quite intelligent.

I've found frogs to be quite intelligent. I watch them at night a lot and noticed how Jade will go up and look at the ventilation areas. She'll look at one spot turn her head and look at another area, and another... like the gears are turning in her head.

Soon they will be building little cars.

She got out twice in one day! I don't know how she did it. I was at my office late tonight and when I got home, my girlfreing showed me what she did.... she ripped the screen and slipped out. I'm confused as they don't have claws. We rebuilt the screen top and now she's just staring at her new ceiling. Dumper on the other hand is running around, diving into his pool and watching TV... I don't think she's happy in there. I don't think she's happy in captivity.

What else does she do? Maybe she is wanting something like more space or more privacy.
