PacMan.. what are temp and humidity numbers for your tank? Alot of times this will cause some of/or all of the frogs to get lazy.. try to get your temps in the 70's.. and you humidity mid to high 70's.. right before you turn the lights out, mist the tank very very well.. most of the time, this will get them active..

PacMan.. not sure where you read that.. but that humidity is too high for RETF's.. You want to keep it between 60 and 80%.. I find that mine seem to like mid to high 70's..
