Strange behaviors?

**Frogfeet123** · December 3rd, 2014

Betty has been acting extremely hyperactive lately, not usual behavior for her.
I mean, climbing on the walls, jumping around psychotically, whereas usually she prefers to soak in her water dish or rest on a ledge, sometimes coming alive at night.

Another odd behavior is trying to eat everything!! She follows me with her eyes, even if I go to brush my hair out of my face, her eyes follow my hand. You probably saw my post about her eating my nose. Just today she latched onto my shirt! I don't hand feed, and I fed her not to long ago so not sure why she is doing this.

Any responses would be gladly appreciated. Also, see my next post about Sally.

You should definitely be dusting with vitamins and calcium no matter what. Carlos has his schedule here, http://www.frogforum.net/showthread.php?p=200430 I would check that out. PS why did someone else post the pic for you on the other post o.0

She's my sister lol. the water I feed my crickets is supposed to have the needed calcium for frogs, so I should be adding more? Would lack of vitamins and calcium contribute to her behavior?

Ooh that makes much more sense now lol. It is possible, but it just sounds like your frog has had one to many monsters if you know what I mean
