Either my house is haunted by a terrified chihuahua or the White's tree frog is calling. Every night somewhere between 9 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. I hear this sharp, loud "Yip." It has woke me from sleeping. The frog is in another room, I can't catch it doing this and have no other explanation unless.......some invisible person has stepped on the tail of a small dog. I don't have a small dog. Is this the Dumpy call?
my white's calls every day when he wakes up at night
here's a link to a youtube video of someone's white's calling. YouTube - whites Tree Frogs Calling
sometimes you can get your frog to call by playing sounds of other ones calling
That's exactly what mine sounds like. Yip yip yip
It, sadly, is the White's treefrog. Would've been really cool if it was the ghost of a chihuahua though. You would have bragging rights, a pet from the netherworld.
Last year I was baby-sitting a friends full grown Indonesian White's when I heard this sound for the first time. Scared the living **** out of me! My Australian White's occasionally make noise, but nothing like this. Well, this week one did.
Guess I got my answer. The frog in the video was a better croaker. My Dumpy usually "yips" once and that's it. I guess since nobody answers he just shuts up. But was it was still scary, huh Kurt?
I find my lot start and don't shut up, its really funny cos they set off my european's....then the fire bellies start.....gets quite noisy here......might prefer a ghost
The bombinas call quite a bit but the minute I turn around to see what's happening the noise stops. They have a pleasant sound tho' and it's not annoying but I wish I could watch them closer.
Kitten, this is an almost two year old thread.
