Frog peeing, ANY suggestions would be so greatly appreciated!!!!

I recently, about a month ago, adopted a Pacman Frog. When I first got him, I could hold him, no problem. But more recently, he decides he wants to pee ALL over me. Not more than two minutes ago, I just held him and peed on me, not once, but twice and the second time ALL OVER MY CLOTHES. Now, this dude's a baby.

Would any of you frog owners know why he's doing this?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

When I use to catch frogs most of them peed on me cause they were scared. Maybe ur picking him up too fast thinking hes use to u? Keep a radio on near his cage, it should calk him down. I did that for my tree frogs & all my snakes, & it worked great

I know NOTHING about frog behavior, but I will search the net and see what I find.

My son's snake will pee on us when we grab him too fast. I think it's just a reaction to fear, or maybe to fast movement. If we pick the snake up slowly, and keep him near our bodies, he doesn't pee.

& don't play harsh music, play oldies type music. I put on Abba, & it did the trick. If u put on harsh music it'll vibrate him too much & he may become ill, stop eating, or even die. & don't play it too loud, same reasons as the vibrations. hmmm pretend ur trying to put a baby to sleep with soft quiet music & poof there ya go

& if u use CDs change them on a daily bases, u don't want him to get too use to the same noises, u want him to get use to many different noises. Make sure there is no music at night, he'll need his beauty sleep

Number9, welcome to Pet Talk! We're glad to have you here. Hopefully you'll stick around this wonderful place.

lol, I don't think I'll have a problem with Hopper getting lost, he's too slooooowwwww. lol. I always take him out of his cage slowly to avoid startling him, so I guess it just makes it better for him to piss on ME. lol.

Your Gliding frog that you have/had sounds too cute... on the closet door enjoying himself, lol!

*And thank you for your response.
