Frog contemplating escape?

Does anyone else have a frog that seems to be contemplating escape? I have 6 month old azureus and he just made the jump from a tiny critter ceeper to a 18" zoomed cube. For the first few hours he was jumping around like crazy in there now he just sits and watches the door. He Tried to jump out last time I opened it up. I thought maybe he was just waiting for food but even during feeding time he just sat there...waiting letting the flies crawl away.

I have a female vent who seems bent on escape. She's made it out three times now. I think she likes the 4' drop from the tank to the floor. Some days it's hours of checking the viv before I can open it long enough to mist and feed.

If you could only know what it was thinking. You would be afraid. Very afraid.

I'm the same way with my tara's. I check and double check and check again before I open the door. I have had escapes 4 times now and it gives me a heart attack every time.

My new Sheperds froglets . I'm afraid to open the top to feed them ! They bounce from side to side of the tub and crawl up the side to the lip . They're just nuts . I think one tries to distract me while the other 2 try to make a break for it .

i have a cuban frog that charges the door everytime i open it. its mean and really pretty ugly, but, fun to watch when i put the crickets in. and one of my new rivers doesnt back down from anything. it would have no problem making a break for it, if only it knew how cold it was outside...
