My white's tree frog escaped):

[froglover27]

So I was in the process of upgrading my white's to a larger tank and the tank is BEAUTIFUL!! It has a log, waterfall(without deep water), 2 large climbing logs, plants that hang on the wall, and coco husk substrate. Also, it's a 35 gallon hex. Well, the tank was originally for aquarium fish, but I thought it would look really pretty for a tree frog tank.The only problem was that the tank lid wasn't vented because it had fish, so I had a make-shift lid that seemed to cover every crevice. I moved in my two white's(Kisses & Sprite) and they were hopping all around, investigating and what not so I thought I would leave them alone for a bit. i checked on them before I went to bed and all was well. I woke up to check on them and Kisses was NO WHERE to be found
Well, of course i was upset and tore up the indoor deck that they were living in trying to find Kisses, but to no avail I couldn't find him. Any idea to of where he could be hiding???? For example, any specific places that White's like to hide? Luckily, the weather here is humid so I'm hoping Kisses will be ok. Also, I'm hoping that by night if I don't find him that I will hear him croaking. Thanks for any help at all!!!

Leave some dishes of dechlorinated water around the house, he might turn up in one after his taste of freedom leaves him thirsty.

Two of mine escaped on night and they traveled the whole house, tracking the trail of dust bunnies they left behind as they traveled under every piece of furnature in the house.

One was under my TV stand covered in dust and came out when he heard me in the morning. The other came out and strated croaking to the sound of the stereo (we put on rainforest sounds) but mine do croak to regualr music.

Check under couches and chairs and also up high in the room on picture frames or any high ledges.

Good luck.

Thanks I read that I should put the water dishes out for him. Also, do you think that it's more likely for him to be up high or down low??THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS

Just double check that he is not still inside buried or hiding

Your hex cover wasnt vented at all? Not even for filter systems? I have a hex tank aquarium lid (same deal as you, 35 gal hex) The tank lid had a removable part in the back to fit the filter system in though. I covered that part with screen and that is my tank vent. I also have a laptop cooler fan that I put on the top if the humidity gets up a bit too much (first week that I had the tank set up with no frogs in it, humidity was hitting 90%)

When you find your frog, which I REALLY hope you do, I'd put them back in their old enclosure until you can get a cover situation figured out.

Good luck!!

Thanks so much!! I know I wouldn't be abe to forgive myself if Kisses wasn't found.I even shedded a few tears when I first saw he was missing

My WTF (Frank) used to be an unbelievable escape artist, and that trait unfortunately lead to his demise. My aunt was pet sitting Frank while I was out of town on business, and I guess she didn't notice him escape when she was changing his water. A few hours later she went to the bathroom and flushed. She looked into the swirling water only to see Frank spin away. That was one of the toughest phone calls I have ever received. So, that makes me even more glad that your White's is safe and sound! I would never want Franks untimely demise to be replicated.

AWWWWW!! That's unbelievably sad! Poor Frank Well, my Kisses has turned out to be quite the little escape artist himself-___- He escaped today as well even though we triple checked to make sure the lid was tightly on. Luckily, I found him quickly nearby his tank. Goodness....when night comes Kisses goes. Once again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so glad you found your White's! I have three of my own and am so glad I haven't had to experience the terror of loosing one...yet.

But hopefully they'll learn that the outside world isn't as frog friendly as it is inside their tanks. ><

Thanks so much for the compliment!

And I just love White's, they're so bold and eager to explore. So many people accuse them of being lazy, but mine are quite active. My baby is still a bit shy, but he's from a group of White's with a rare recessive gene, so maybe that accounts for it.

Actually my friend is a frequent shopper at Goodwill and she found the thing for $70. It was a pretty good find actually. Not ideal for tree frogs, but I'll make it work. It was probably used with some type of non-climbing desert animal, like a snake or a tortoise. Probably a snake though. XD;

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.
