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.![]()
