Lol! Sounds like my girls. I have some fattys, one in particular named Leapin' Loo, who will do the same thing at me if she thinks it's feeding time-- and she always thinks it's feeding time so I'm pretty convinced your boy is a girl!

That is an AWESOME frog save. No one would guess that your little tub-o'-love would have been able to survive Nor Cal in Oct. Tough baby! She is very lucky you found her

My boy came to me from Petco infested with parasites, then later went through preventative treatment for chytrid. The medications were hard on him and he stopped eating, so I had to compel him to eat by pestering him with a cricket until he opened his mouth. I tried syringe feeding him Reptaboost, but I have carpal really bad and was afraid I'd hurt him. He survived everything, luckily, but to this day refuses to eat crickets, or anything else, unless I go thru the thing with the hand feeding. He gives me trouble just about every time: from swatting the cricket, to grabbing it and shoving it away, to kicking me, or making a squawk that sounds a heckuva lot like "NO!", he'll also jump on me, or on my face, or occasionally pee on me if he's really mad-- but what's funny is, when I go to put him back in his house he refuses to leave my hand! He'll sit there sometimes and fall asleep, and once he even trusted me enough to stay on my hand while he shed. The little brat is my fav, needless to say, lol.

Oh almost forgot to add this... frogs drink from their butts :P They literally have what's called a drink patch in their groin area between their stomach and hind legs, so all they need to do to drink is have a good soak. Your froggy did just fine though!

Wow, that sucks. I'm glad your little one made it.

I didn't know that about the water pouch, that's really cool. I feel like I learn something new about these guys all the time.

Have you tried feeding Dubai roaches? My boy/girl prefers them over crickets. He/she puts up a fight when I try to give him crickets, but he willingly takes the roaches. Plus I love that they don't make noise and don't smell (serious bonus, lol)
