Bloody finger from frog feeding This would be the result of my over-excited Bullfrog during a feeding. I was in the process of feeding him roaches from a hemostat. This is actually the second time he got me. The first was just a grazing wound. This time he got my whole thumb in his mouth and latched down. He was about 2 feet out of the water when he decided to let go. I have three distinct tooth (or odontoid) marks on one side of my thumb (the bleeding side.) He is much calmer during feeding on the dry side of his tank. Won't be feeding him in the water again.

Re: Bloody finger from frog feeding Yeouch. . . This is why I personally couldnt handle a pacman or a african bullfrog. Chances are Id react at the moment and fling whatever is biting me(not really proud about it). Yeah you may want to clean up that wound up.... Wash it off with soap and hand sanitizer then pour some hydrogen peroxide on it. Then cover it with a bandaid. IT should heal up within 3-5days depending how deep the cut is. If its deep it may even take a week and a half.

Re: Bloody finger from frog feeding haa, you have to watch it with those guys alright. As far as they are concerned your on the menu. What is even worse is having one latch on and decide that he can swallow you instead of letting go. Pretty much all frogs have eyes bigger than their stomachs. This youtube video is a prime example of that. Yes the guy wasn't really smart to put the mouse in there but it is still pretty funny.

Re: Bloody finger from frog feeding It probably looks worse than it was. Caught me by surprise, he is just so fast, especially for leaping over a foot out of about 5 inches of water.Originally Posted by pixiefrogman
No worries, I scrubbed it outAnd it is tempting to fling the frog across the room when attached to your finger.
Clearly I need to get something longer and avoid feeding when he is in water. I don't have this overzealous feeding problem when he is on the dry side of his tank, nor do I get aggression when handling him.
Re: Bloody finger from frog feeding This happened to my brother and mom in the same week. My mom tried to pet him.
