    Angry I need all the help I can get!! Sound issues...

    I love my FBT'S, but HATE the noise they make at night. It has been a problem for sometime now because I keep them in my bedroom. I can't take the whole tank out every night it's too big! What can I do, I've tried covering them up with a towel but it still doesn't mask the sound!! I wake up in the middle of the night and just want to . I don't want to just deal with it, I could but would preffer another alternative. I also need to keep them in my bedroom it would be a big hassle to move everything to another room. Help!!

    Reverse cycling maybe?? Keep your room dark for the day to trick them into thinking it is night, and then putting a light on their tank at night so they think it is day? It would have to be an eventual process though I think. I really have no idea, I would love for my frogs to make some noise!! 4 of them and not a peep since the car ride home.

    they "bark" day and night

    to the OP you have 1 option: another room placement.

    I'm afraid we might have to move them to another room . It seems like the only
    immediate solution.

    Ok, thanks guys!!

    - I tried to ask my friends what I could do to fix this problem, and all I got was "Just tape their little froggy mouths shut!"

    Definately move to another room, mine are making a noise 24/7 although i got used to it quite quickly and enjoy the sound, i can under stand how it could annoy people. For an apprently quite animal they are loud. That being said i had mine in a room the other end of the house and if i left doors open i could still hear them ... although it was muted and sounded like some thing off one of those 'rainforest sound's' cd's

    FBT can chirp night and day, and for a few months, continuously...As most said, it's either a question of getting used to it, or simply move them to another room.

    My FBTs don't chirp. They are both female and females usually don't chirp.
