I've had an African Dwarf Froggy for a couple of days now, but I hardly ever see him! Is it normal for them to hide all day and only come into view for quick gulps of air? I don't think he's even gotten any food, since he doesn't seem to move from behind one of the ornaments in the tank. Is my poor froggy in trouble? <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
What's going on??
I dunno. I'll ask. WhHHaaAAAAAAAATTTs GooiiiNGG OooON?!
What's he saying?
This one's a little trickier... He's either saying, 'it's time to move to the back of the throat' or, he wants a strawberry float.

Hello Cat!
I'm sorry, I can't help you with the frog...I have never had one, though I was looking at them today and considering the possibility of picking a few up for pets for my bettas <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I wonder if Glo knows anything about them...I know Jilly does. I would be curious to know thier habits myself.
Emg

AHHHH!!!!!!! He's been KIDNAPPED!
My frog is just *gone*! He's not on/near/inside any of the ornaments, he's not floating on top, there's no limbs floating around, I couldn't find him burried in the gravel, and my fish don't seem unaccountably full. He's just GONE! My poor frog!! This is WEIRD. Do these frogs dig deep into gravel?? Cause if not, I just don't know!
What's going on??

Well no I have never had a frog but I think I read somewhere that they do jump out, and need the whole top of the aquarium covered. i think he has jusmped ship. Not sure if it was homicide or suicide but I really think if there was any place for him to jump he has jumped out if he has totally disappeared, been my experience a couple of times with missing fish....aaarrrggghhh I hate that!!
Sorry I can't offer anymore. I hope I'm wrng and he surprises you . Glo

I have a couple of african dwarf frogs-I've had them about a week and a half now. I too have had times when I cannot find my frogs anywhere, but they have always mysteriously appeared. And I have seen mine bury themselves in the gravel so yours might have. They like to hide-mine have dug up all of the fake plants in there, and there is a little cave where they always hide. Check out the website http://allaboutfrogs.org/froglnd.shtml and look at the species care sheets. Hope this helps!

LOL! This froggy is really trying to prove himself today. Not only does he suddenly prove he's not missing, he took a walk today! First time I've seen him move around on his own. The funny thing climbed into the tree stump ornament I have, I guess that's his new home : )

The Betta doesn't bother the frog at all, and Senor Squiggy (the frog) is very docile towards all the other critters in the tank, even the shrimp. He's fun to watch, too : )
Do you know if I can put in any old rocks in the tank, Jilly? I have a rock collection from when I was a kid : ) Thought I might put one or two in there for S. Squiggy.
