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!!!!!!!! :) :D
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.
Thanks for responding, kingrattus and aly.Quote:

kingrattus, thank you for the idea. I will definitely do that tomorrow morning.
aly, thanks a bunch!!! :) :D
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. ;) :D
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! :) :D
*And thank you for your response. :)
