    Question my GTF's do not go in water bowl,is this a problem?

    i have had my 4 gtf's for about month and a half now but not once saw them in the water bowl.is this a problem?
    sometimes i do see a oily film on top of the water and some coco fiber in as well.i do work graveyard so dont get to watch them at night that much when they are active but do watch them at night when iam off but still never saw them in the water bowl.

    thanks

    Not being an aquatic frog, there's no reason they should spend time in the bowl. I personally never use a water bowl for tree frogs. It's more of a safety measure for people new to tree frogs or who are going on vacation and are afraid the level of humidity will drop too low for the frogs. Believe it or not, since they're not spending much time in there, it's an indication that you've got a good level of humidity in the terrarium.

    Only 2 out of 4 of my gray tree frogs ever soak. One is obsessed and barely leaves the water. I have never seen my 2 smaller frogs in the water dish. They are all perfectly healthy! So I wouldn't worry I keep the humidity between 70 and 75%
