Watch him? Look for droppings in it? Thats really the only way you could KNOW for sure I'd think. Or set up a camera to film him 24/7 but that might not be possible XD

or you could lay a zone of soil or sand around the bowl, or pile some sand on the edge of the bowl (if it has an edge). He would have to walk through that and would track some into the water? Unless, of course, he hops in....

Another idea is to make a raised platform for the water dish, if you feel they may not be using it. My little Gray Tree Frog tends to stick to the leaves and rarely comes down, so I try and spritz the leaves to make sure he gets the water he needs.
