White lipped tree frog acting strange. Can someone help?

Question

I have a white lipped tree frog and its acting very strange, its swelling up then suckin in all its weight and opening and closing its mouth. Its in a great natural setup for a white lipped tree frog, I have never seen it act this way and im a bit worried since its my 3 year old pet ( he dosent handle him) Im aware they dont like to be handled and I leave it to a min. Please any info will help. Oh and hes also goozing extra from his skin

Answer 1

I've been keeping several species of treefrogs for many years. I notice similar exaggerated sucking in and yawning behaviour with mine soon after the lights go out. It's their "waking up" process. They will also behave this way when they are shedding their skin.

Answer 2

All I know about
white lipped tree frogs and there relatives is they dont like to be handled. I would think your frog injested something and is trying to secrete through its skin. Make sure you clean the glass on the side of the tank because frogs and absorb stuff through there skin. I would suggest you try a different species such as a pacman frog. Its cool to watch them eat a mouse and they are easier to take care of.
