(But that's definitely not true!!!)
But they are one of the most aggressive frogs and even attack big mammals like opossums
in the wild when they get threatened.
They have a very nasty bite and can cause deep wounds on the finger if they would bite you.
Furthermore they hang on for several minutes when they got you.
But as they aren't the best jumpers it's normally nearly impossible that they get you.
Therefore you should only feed them with a long feeder forceps.
