Pacman's tongue sticking to tank walls

It's hard to avoid, since it takes the dubias about three seconds to run to a wall and start trying to burrow, and she's never taken food from tongs...

I wouldn't worry too much. Have you ever been stuck by her tongue yet? It is sticker than glue . It feels really weird too.

This is normal!!
Our frogs do it all the time at feeding time. They know the tongs are coming with food and they get excited and try to eat everything that moves through the walls of their holding cups. It does no harm, but it's really cute & entertaining to me!

Haha! I love when they do that!

Glad it's not hurting her It is pretty funny to watch, especially when she uses her arms to push herself away from the tank walls.
Nah, I've only gotten bitten by the teeth.

Awe that sucks. I've never been bitten, but have been stuck by all mine except the newest baby I got today.

I've never been bitten very hard, only once when there was a roach clinging onto the back of my hand. lol the roach got the worst of it but I still ended up bleeding.

Ouch! Chomper used to bite anything in her path, if it moved. She seems to recognize my hands now, and waits until I put the bugs down. Though she still lunges at the tongs pretty hard when I use them.
