Toe twitching...

Paullywog Sep 24, 2004 04:47 PM

Does anyone else have treefrogs whose toes twitch when they are stalking a bug? My pacific treefrogs do this... just wondering if it's all right. THanks!

it's fine to my knowledge, sometimes pac mans do it too, i read that is used to attract the prey item.

Yes indeed, my gray tree frog often has a twitching toe while he is preparing to lunge for an insect. He gets all excited and revs up his whole body during the stalking process. He reminds me of a cat gearing-up to pounce.
