Im not a newbie frog keeper i was just wondering if pacman bites hurt. As in like a small sore or like an unbarebale killer pain. I am asking this because my pacman is pretty small and hasnt bitten me yet... I am just preparing to make sure i knwo hwo much it hurts so i dotn get so suprised when he tries to eat my finger or hand. Thx again.

small frog bites are nothing. Does hurt at all. When the frogs get big, it wont be pleasent to say the least, but it is not just some horrible/unbearable experience. It is a bit painful, but as long as you don't jerk back or try to pull the frog off, you will come out pretty well.

Let me tell you about my experience with horned frog bites! I had a regular female Cranwell a few years ago who bit me, and clamped down, and stayed that way for about ten seconds. I immersed my hand (and the frog) into an aquarium to get her off of me. The bite ended up bleeding pretty good, but shallow surface cuts to the fingers usually do. I just washed it with antibacterial soap and there were no lasting effects. Much elss traumatic than a dog bite.

hey thx for the replies guys. hope he never bites me. i have been bitten by my dog and got a horrible scar from it. even tho that happened i still loved him until my parents were dumb enuff to "lend" my dog to a hunter to go hunting. This "hunter" "accidently" shot my dog wit a gun and he died.
Also another question. my pacman is fed crixand he grabs them wit his hand and eats them like finger food. is this normal? my other frogs just grab them wit his mouth. thx for n e replies.

Totally normal. My frogs use their front arms and feet to shovel food into their mouths.

O ok but i mean B-mac (my pacman) takes his food and eats almost liek a barbaric human being. he grabs for a cricket(usually couple tries cause he is clumsy) and once he grabs it and is too big for him (he is picky) he takes it and RIPS IT IN HALF. I alway thought this cute so i adopted him. he then takes a bite and kinda chews. wierd....... yet cute. ill try to post pic but i dotn knwo how can n e 1 tell me plz?
