Nose rub and crazy behavior worsening!

[Frogger00]

I would run some experiments on the variables mentioned by Scott^. See if changing humidity, lighting, noise, etc. See if changing anything helps. Do they have enough stuff to climb on in there? Maybe they are bored. Dumpies are active at night, and without enough things to do like climb, hunt, proper mating conditions of they are a pair, they could get easily restless. These frogs are a lot more pet-like than most other tree frogs, so you should treat them that way too, and give them sufficient attention. My dumpies are as happy as can be, as I handle them and hand feed them everyday. Heck, my adult perches on my shoulder for sometimes hours at a time while I do my homework! He's even "potty trained" to get it all out when I run him under the filtered water faucet over the sink. So funny!

So I took your advice, when he started jumping around and pushing to get out, I took him out, gave him some worms and he chilled on my hand for a while. Even my other guy who is a bit nervous was pushing to get out,so I handled him for a few minutes as well. It certainly helped. They are still behaving pretty wild, but instead are jumping on their branches versus trying to escape. I'm also working on getting a taller tank, at least 3 feet high, 4' if I can find one. I want to make it a "busy" cage so they have lots to do. I'm also going to start feeding every day over every 4 days. Thanks for the help!
