Default HELP!! Man Down!!

When I woke up this morning I counted 3/4 toads in my tank, as of last night there were 4. I looked EVERYWHERE and underneath EVERYTHING but I still can't find him. THere is only a small gap in the screen hood but I thought they were too big to fit through it, plus he'd have to have climbed up the glass side, not the corner, to get out.

Do they have a tendancy to go someplace?? Like a cool moist area etc?? Like I said I've looked everywhere and can't find him. Help!!

I've lost my frog once when I was staying at a cabin in the everglades. I found him two mornings later downstairs hopping out from underneath the stove. He was staying upstairs in the loft with me. I was sooo happy when I found him. Your toad was probably taking advantage of being able to hop wherever he wanted.

Hmmm, ok. My door was closed last night so I have my money he's somewhere in this room. Not to many places he can go but this is a college apt so there's crap everywhere for him to hide under. I took my cat in my room and shut the door and watched him hoping he would find something but he just looked at me like an idiot. I put some bowls of water out on the floor so hopefully tommorrow morning I'll wake up to him taking a bath. His new name is Houdini lol

Ok,
Well my FBT got out one time. He's about the size of two quarters and he got through a space about 3 cm in size.
Found him when a girl screamed in the next dorm room. he had slid under the door, down the hall and into my friends room's shower. Must have been moist in there. When his gf needed to pee, she had a nice surprise.

I've lost a FBT in a similar way also.

So did you find him?

Last update.

I officially moved out yesterday and am now home 320 miles away, light 1 toad

Hopefully wherever he is he can survive, even after cleaning out everything there was still no sign of him.
