White's tree frog stuck in bamboo

Kurt do you think he will come out on his own?

[John]

He'll probably figure it out.

I think so.

If not, just plop him down in front of the TV and make him watch the View for an hour or so. That frog will come out of the bamboo to look for the remote in a heart beat.

i think he would crawl deeper into the bamboo haha

P.S.
" I tried running some water into the bamboo, but I felt like I was water-boarding him so I stopped that." LMAO you made my day

Well...That depends on what you are watching

Well, he still wouldn't come out tonight. I brought the bamboo down to the basement where I keep the saw, but I just couldn't risk it. He was wedged right by where a seam in the bamboo was, so I would have to cut pretty close to his nose or rear. Instead, I filled the bamboo up with water right to where his eyes were and I swished it around in case his waxy skin was stuck to the bamboo walls. Then I tapped the edge of the bamboo against the counter until his nose and one arm were sticking out the front. When I put my finger against his hand, he grabbed on and I pulled him out! He looks a little reddish on his sides and is very dark in color, but is otherwise fine. I stuck a few crickets in for him, but he is more interested on sticking to the wall right now. Maybe he'll change his mind later.

I am NOT putting the bamboo back in his terrarium. Maybe my baby geckos can use it more responsibly.

Or you could seal up the ends with something like great stuff.

Just to defend his intelligence: My White's tree frog is VERY curious and if he sees a nook or something he will almost always slide down into it to see how far it goes. I think it might be so that they can determine rather or not it is a good hiding place incase they spot a predator.

Still funny as heck though.
