    Fire Bellies are some of the strongest frogs out there. Chances are he will be just fine. Just keep him with plenty of clean fresh water and he'll likely bounce back. I also wouldn't be too worried about the fall they are pretty resilient. You should probably duck tape the screen lid down so they can't get out again. They are very persistent and will keep trying now that they know they can get out. They are pretty strong at pushing off lids even if you have objects on top of them or they get their limbs stuck in there. Be careful and make sure it is secure. I'm glad you found him and he's okay.

    I hadn’t thought to duct tape the lid, but that’s a good idea. It will certainly keep him from getting out again. And so far he is doing fine! Thanks.

    One of my gray tree frogs escaped earlier this week. I still have NO CLUE. I woke up to find her sitting on top of the screen staring at me when I went to check on them. She was a bit dry and very happy to go back in her viv. I had some leftover screen material from my viv build, so i put that over the top and wrapped it with packing tape. It has kept her in now, but it sure is a pita! Next week I can move her to the new viv though and that one should be totally escape proof!

    Oops! Glad you caught your run away toad! Mine have had long falls before but never had a chance to run after wards!

    How is he doing now? They cope very well with dry conditions, i left mine in the care of someone who forgot to mist their tank and change their water dish! When i got back they were avoiding the water and their land was very dry so they had just buried themselves in a row underneath a log that was damp on the underside. Pretty clever if you ask me

    She/he will be just fine. Just keep her/his water clean and full! I wouldn't worry about the fall, FBTs are very harty. Good luck!
