    Default Do pacman frogs bite

    I read online that pacman frogs have teeth, and big ones bigger teeth that could draw blood and they might bite you if you stick your hand in front of them. I don't have a pacman so I was wondering if they really do bite.

    They do bite ; as do ABFs and other frogs! Frogs do not have teeth; but some do have sharp bony structures in mouth called odontoids that can give a nice laceration to a human finger or hand .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Frogs do have teeth aside from the odontoids. Their upper jaw has many small sharp teeth. Toads on the other hand do not have teeth.

    I believe so, but not quite like this. They are more blunt. The kind of prey they eat has a lot to do with what they need in order to capture it.
