They all hid from me for a couple of weeks. I thought for sure they had crawled off somewhere and died. Go out after dark (when it's really dark - not just at sunset - and look around with a flashlight. They like to sit on top of things - plant leaves, shelves, pots, etc., or hang on the sides of things. Lizards, on the other hand, will be underneath, inside, or anywhere. The frogs usually stay at least waist high or higher too and like warmer areas (that's why mine like to sleep in the electrical boxes). I find mine hanging out on the power cords too. The tree frogs move pretty slowly too and don't make noise - as opposed to the lizards which are lightening fast and don't mind knocking over pots, rocks, or each other to get to a cricket.
Get a few small, live crickets from the pet store and put some in an orchid pot after dark so the frog can find them then sit back and watch for it. They don't really like the light so don't keep the flashlight on all the time.
Good luck - they are sneaky (but oh, so cute)
people on here are ingenius I would never have thought of doing this as we dont live in a climate the critters could handle but those frogs oh my word they are so so cute they had me laughing the little one that looks as though he is smiling and sticking his thumb up, I think he is a happy little guy, My pest control in my house with my garden plant seedlings is yellow sticky tape, what a fantastic alternative if you have the climate and a greenhouse
