AHHHH!!! Curious George escaped!

[GartenSpinnen]

Curious George my grey tree frog escaped :wall: Whats the best way to catch a tree frog on the run? I tried putting a shallow water dish out hoping he would come to it. Hes my biggest male i dont really want to lose him. I wondered why he has been watching me closely lately

Cute frog! What kind is it?

 

[froggyman]

its a grey treefrog...native to much of the northeast us and canada

Since he's a tree frog, he will probably try to hide somewhere up high and in a corner. You may be able to find him roaming around at night too.
Good luck!

yep, I found my 0.1 cuban at night in my hallway, of course the cat pointed it out up on the ceiling.

But if he dehydrates he will be too weak/dried up to climb. Look carefully under couches and stuff. I think GTF's are relatively tough skinned but if it has been more than 8 hours the frog is either on deaths door with renal failure possible if saved, or a piece of jerky.

While I was putting peat in My GTF enclosure, my smaller neon jumped out. took off like a frog outta hell. took me a few hours to find him (he got out of my sight, due to theo ther tyring to make a breka for it hsortly after) found him in the corner of the room under a cabanet

Gotcha! I put out a shallow dish with water and found him in it. Didnt take time to get a pic, just grabbed him up and put him back where he belongs!

Eons ago I kept one and found it in the sump pump in the basement about a month later (When I lived in the US).

Congratulations! Finally, an escaped frog story with a good ending.

i had an african clawed frog escape in my kitchen and three years later i found him dried in my bedroom(like 20ft away)

Glad you found him. I would imagine that amphibians have the lowest survival rates of all escaped pets, second only to fish, of course.

 

[GartenSpinnen]

Im glad i found him too! Hes one of my favorites for sure. He has so much personality, you would never think it from a frog! Every time i go in the room he comes out of hiding and jump on a perch or the glass and watches me every move. Its so funny i love it. I like frogs
Cheers

I think they are about equal...actually! Fish can last quite a while...but unlike amphibians won't go crawling off to God knows where.

I remember when I was little, I came home from vacation to find my goldfish missing from the tank! I found them behind the tank stuck to the floor. Fish jerky
I find dried up treefrogs all the time at my work. I don't know how they get in here..
My boss makes me get all the bugs and frogs, even the dead ones. yuk. lol.

Good point! Unless we are talking about African lungfish or walking catfish, I guess.
