My white's tree frog escaped):

[froglover27]

Uh-oh...looks like you have some kind of flaw in your tank. D:

First I would find my frog, then take them both out (put them in a tightly lidded container) and search the tank up and down for a way that they could've escaped. Twice in a row can't be a coincidence.

But don't worry, you found him the first time I bet you'll find him again soon! I have faith.




And about my tank, just check out my thread periodically, I'm trying to update it every few days with new info.

The thing is I HAVE checked the tank up and down for a way that he could have escaped. There is NO opening at all!!!!!): I looked all around and kisses is no where in sight Guess I will wait til dark, since the humidity is high. Any ideas as to how he could have escaped? Is it possible for them to 'lift' the tank lid? Thanks for the encouragement and I will check your thread(: Definetly to help with new ideas

Is your lid a regular screen that just sits on top of your tank? How big are the frogs?

Well right now it is two rectangular lids with tissues stuffed into every crack making NO escape! I'm planning on building a new/better one The one that escaped is about the size of a match box maybe a little bigger, then the other one is 3.5 inches as of todayJUST measured him/her. I feel like Sprite is lonely without Kisses
They live on my outdoor screened-in porch by the way. Do you think that he could have survived the night? The temperatures are pretty humid, but..... Who knows?

Well in that case I assume he could lift the top. I really hope he made it through the night...it really depends on how cold it was...D:

Do you have a picture of the tank? That would really help us to help you figure out how they got out.

Frogs can squish through pretty tiny cracks compared to how their body size. If they can push the lid up even a little bit to make a small gap, that could be it.

No chance the frog is hiding in the tank? Buried in the substrate?

No chance it managed to get out of the screened in porch?

You could leave a few water buckets around outside in the hopes that it returns for a soak.

Erm, how big is the size difference between the two frogs A matchbox seems pretty small compared to a 3.5" frog

Anyway, good luck, and I hope you find your frog in good shape.

Oh my gosh, when I read that I assumed we were talking about one of those big match boxes! If you mean the little one, your frog could be in danger or eaten already...D:

[Froog]

Wow he is quite the escape artist! Just do what you did last time and keep your hopes up!

Umm.. I don't have a pic, but I could take one(: And I hope so!!

I don't think he is in the substrate because there would probably be a lump right?
He might be able to get out of the porch, but I wouldn't think he could travel really fast. Could he?? I have like five all around

The other frog was about 2.5 in, but that is just an estimate.

sorry UncleChester I posted this , but it went inside the quote? I don't think he is in the substrate because there would probably be a lump right?

I don't think that he could've been eaten. They are somewhat close

[Kisa]

Sorry to jump the gun like that, when UncleChester pointed out that you said matchbox and 3.5" I got scared. XD; White's are pretty aggressive eaters though so you have to be careful if you're keeping frogs together with such a big difference in size. As long as it can fit in their mouth, I'm pretty sure they'll go for it.

[UncleChester]

Depends on the amount of substrate you have, but a total burial with little trace isn't impossible. Since it definitely got out before, an escape is probably more likely, but hiding is still an option.

Frogs can move pretty quick when they want to.

It would have been an awful way to go 'missing', so more clarification on the size difference was definitely needed. Happily cannibalism doesn't seem to be a factor here

Yeah I'm relieved to hear I misjudged what the size of a matchbox was as well. XD;

No luck yet on finding your missing frog?
Last time mine got out they traveled the entire house in one night, and that is every room ... three bedrooms, living room and a storage room and didn't miss a piece of dust bunny along the way.

Hope he shows up soon.

Me too. But its been about three days

[froglover27]

After one week of searching and worrying, KISSES IS FOUND!!!!!! Yup he is safe and sound and currently in a 10 gallon with a TIGHT-FITTING lid! No escape anymore!
He was in the enclosed screen porch after all!!!!!!!!!!! He was just sitting on the table staring back at me, while I was misting the other frog, Sprite. GOSH! WHAT A WEEK!!

[DonLisk]

Good for Kisses. Nice that she survived and is back in a more secure home :-)

[Baelari]

Congrats!

[froglover27]

Thanks everyone!! Im really glad he/she was Okay!
