Hi again guys. Just wondering if anyone knows any good picking up frog tutorials. Y know so you can remove them from the tank for cleaning purposes. They don’t mind my hands for spot cleaning purposes and one of them has jumped out and sat on me when he got a liiiiiiiiiitle too eager to catch a cricket. But I would like to know the best and safest way for them to be picked up.

cheers.
 
either just sploot them (gently) and scoop or
Hold their back legs between your thumb and fingers
Thanks I’ll give that a shot. I’ve been picking them up a bit like fish and I don’t think they like it.
 
Picking up frogs is an art... They mostly just want to eat your face!! I sneak up on them from behind, under their bum with a cupped hand and sometimes just wait for them to jump on me (which doesn't take too much encouragement)
