Is it a bad idea to pick and handle your Pacman?

[GrifTheGreat]

It is ok to handle your Pacman in moderation. As everyone has mentioned they can become stressed easily. When you do handle your Pac make sure to wash your hands thoroughly to remove the oils from your hands which can harm them. Use a mild cleanser nothing that will leave heavy scents or residues. The more you handle them the more they get used to you but it must be done so over time. Also if they feel threatened they may bite which can be quite painful if its an adult Pacman. Don't let that discourage you too much. Your frog probably won't bite you. Be very careful not to drop your frog either. They can be injured or killed easily. Make them feel secure by cuppkng your hands around the frog be ferm so it doesn't jump out but gentle at the same time so you don't squeeze the frog. It takes time but your frog will eventually get used to you.

Great points, i'll try that. I'll try and avoid getting bitten-Ill pick him/her up from behind, although i have a feeling the frog with the most powerful bite are pixie frogs

I can't imagine pacmans are fast at hopping away...

You'd be surprised just how far one of those tubby Pacs can jump. My chubby boy Grif can jump 5 times his body length if he wants to. I've seen him do it. And the babies are pretty spry. My little baby Green C. cranwelli is fast and can jump about 5 times its body length as well. They do actually have pretty strong rear legs. They just conserve their energy.
