    Talking My pacman thinks he is a tree frog!?

    So tonight my baby pacman (who we call Babypac until we decide on a name) got a little adventurous. I was getting ready to feed it when he/she (still not sure on gender) started hopping around. There is a log with a fake plant sitting in the corner. So Babypac hopped over to the log, stared at in for a moment, then proceeded to climb the log! I grabbed my camera and snapped some pictures. This might just be a case of a certain froggie-parent thinking everything their pacman does is cute... but oh well, I'm sharing anyway. Haha! I've certainly never seen behavior like this from my other pac Grif. He thinks it is too much effort to even climb into his water dish, lol. Annnnyway, here are the pictures. They aren't the greatest, because the night bulb is on, but I had to share.

    Here he/she is thinking about climbing it. (Look at that belly!)

    Crazy, huh? It's a fierce little thing; I might have to watch my fingers when it gets bigger! It's very active and yes, very healthy as far as I can tell. I couldn't believe it when it started climbing. It was so adorable! My very own Treepac LOL!

    Haha Treepac! What an adventurous little guy! Mine only tried to climb once when he was teeny, check out my avatar. Was pretty clumsy though and fell off straight after!

    Don't let them fool you....they can & will climb when motivated!!
    When breeding cycles come around here, we have a few males willing to travel to find them some lovin'!
    We have the ones actually breeding in the rain chamber and when the male starts calling, all the other mature males get going......next thing we know, we have loose frogs in the house looking to climb into lone female's tubs......and have even awoken to find that some of our males have done just that, climbed out of thier tubs and into a female's tub. My Fathere almost lost some toes to one of the traveling guy frogs!! It wandered into his bedroom and when he went to go to the bathroom, the frog attacked his toes!! Nothing like waking up to the sound of your Father screaming about Frogzilla trying to eat his feet at 4 in the morning!!

    Jessica, that is hilarious! They are pretty determined when they make up their minds. I'm always surprised by how far they can jump. (Those chubby little legs are strong!) But the climbing is new to me. This one is too young for it to be a breeding issue. Maybe it wanted to climg higher so it would seem "bigger" than the humans. Haha! It is a fearless little thing, stares right at you particularly at feeding time. It was so cute that I couldn't resist taking some picuters. I wonder if it will do it again, or if this was just a one time thing? hmmm...

    Lol, I swear I didn't! But since it was dinner time and he didn't seem to want to budge, I fed him a couple of crickets. He just sat on the log and took the crickets from the forceps. He spends most of his time burrowed like any pacman, but when he is up, man is he up! Hops all over the place! I hope this means that he is very healthy and will live a long, long time.
