Whites gone bonkers

[into]

Hi all

going bonkers running up the doors of the viv and pawing at the mesh top like he wants out. Do they usually flip out from time to time or is he/she trying to tell me something?

My youngest does this a lot. He's the only one. My large female USED to do that and when I first got her she actually broke through the screen on her old encloser a couple times. She finally gave up trying to escape.

I have found that they have a predetermined location they want to be at. If I take my female out, she always heads for the window. My oldest male (dumper) always heads for my girlfreind (she hates it) or under the bed ...and my youngest (scooter) always wants to go under the fridge.

Well we had a move around of vivs and cleared out the 60x45x60cm viv we were using for the Goldens and rehoused the Whites into it. No more bonkers frogs

They seem to really be enjoying their new home and not trying to escape. Eating back to normal and plenty of action whilst they explore and hunt. Some pretty impressive high dives aswell from the top branches into their pond

Now to hopefully pick up some Waxy Monkeys on Sunday at an Expo in London

Interesting... I didn't know pawing at the top of the enclosure was normal or common behavior for a tree frog. My girlfriend's peacock tree frog just started doing this tonight, and we are both concerned because he hasn't done this in the year+ that she has had him.

I hope he's just feeling frisky too :/

Mine too! They seem to decide every once and a while that it's time to have an outburst. They focus on where they want to go and will try over and over and over again, until they have banged and dropped many times, then seem to decide they are done or brain dead one of the two. Seems to happen for no reason and some do this more than others.
