    Question Froggy can't cling to the cealing...

    So Mila is a playful little Azureus. She jumps up on the leaves of the Pothos and then does a flip in mid air to try and cling to the small area of mesh screen in the lid of the QT tub. This is not metel wire mesh it's the same stuff they use in most modern window screens. She does not seem to hurt herself when she tries this, but my husband wonders if it is cause for concern. So he asked me to post this and see what you think.

    Any input?

    Are the temps and humidity ok? Sometimes they just do it to mess with us but other times not

    Stress can cause this sort of behavior as well. Is Mila still in QT?

    The temp and humidity seem to be fine and yes she is still in QT because we only got her Wednesday. She does not do it constantly and shows no sign she has hurt herself. I took a good look at her without picking her up and there is no sign of any injury. She is only bouncing against the screen and then falling down into the water dish or to the floor of the tub which is I admit only five gallons. It is only meant to hold 1 frog temporarily. She does spend some time climbing up the walls but there is a ridge there that she likes to get on and sit. In fact her first night she slept on the ridge. Then she slept to the side of the ceramic water dish we had to put in since she kept knocking over the first water dish. Then last night she spent the whole night on the upper most leaf of the Pothos. I feel she was just testing her limits this morning when she was trying to cling to the ceiling. She also still eats well with most flies gone within a few minutes from each feeding. If she keeps doing the jump flips I will get concerned.
