yester day when i put my 2 D.aurarus in ther new 20 gallon viv, one jumped into a crack in between the fern tree root fiber and the glass, it then wiggled behind the background, that was last night and i have not seen it since,i cant see behind the backgroound because of all the condensation should i be woried? can it get out on its own?, the other one is doing fine.

I would say if you startled him into the crevice there may be a chance he can't get out. Sometimes if I startle my frogs they will hop all over the place and don't really seem to be in control of where they will end up. You may need to remove the background. Hope this helps.

Don't be too concerned right now. Generally if they can squeeze behind the pannels they can squeeze out again as long as the hole they entered through isn't too tiny and they don't get stuck. I used to have a group of mantella frogs that would breed behind the pannels so I had to break a little section of them off to access the eggs. You could do the same to get to your frog if needed. Good luck,
