How can I get my pacman used to being picked up?

Yep, I agree. Unless your frog is used to a certain routine as for feeding or other needed purpose, as little handling as possible means less stress for them and a happier, healthier frog. They are domesticated animals and don't look for affection. But that doesn't mean that they might get a bit used to us either. My big RETF now sits right on her front branches and looks right out the tank when she's hungry, lol! It's super cute. So, some may learn to tolerate us. But, can you imagine a big scary thing 100+ X's our size reaching into our homes to pick us up, ha ha! They have an inherent instinct of fear to larger animals because they often are prey.

Oh yeah...George, my "pone" does that too, lol! And my typing with a thumb probably doesn't help either, ha ha!

George it's all good, 5 more frogs for you is worth getting a prosthetic hand right? I mean eventually they'll get all your fingers sooner or later lol.
