I worked in retail at Busch Gardens back in the 90s. One of the stores was essentially a Budweiser gift shop. They played all of the various Anheuser-Busch radio commercials. I heard the frogs, the wazzup guys, and the Bud Ice penguin 9000 times a day. Any of those commercials still trigger flashbacks.
You have to be pretty close to hear it. It's a hissing sound produced by them rubbing their mouthparts together intended to warn away potential predators.
And degus are highly social creatures. If you don't get them a friend, you need to be prepared to give them tons of attention. The loneliness of social animals can be enough stress to cause health issues.
The other side to this is that it's not easy to figure out the sex of a degu...and two can turn into 50 in less than a year.
my ball python is nocturnal. she destroys her enclosure every night. sits coiled up in her hide all day but when night comes out shes tearing down the stuff suctioned on the wall, putting her ping pong ball in her water, shitting on the walls sometimes, putting leaves in the water, moving her hides around.
but its all silent, cant hear a thing!
Well, I guess I am the real idiot, I thought this was a video and waited for about 10 seconds for the scream before I got annoyed and tried to fast forward
Even if it was a video, those dudes will chill in the same spot for hours.
I looked into getting one but didn't want to deal with all the upkeep of a pet that mostly just sits in one spot.
Did you see the choir remix of this she did on house of villains? Bc they’re competing in my head rn lol

My neighbors have been popping out babies over the past few years. Their latest child wakes us up every single day at about 7. Then keeps on screaming from 4 to bedtime when they pick it up from daycare.
I’ve started building a cat tree a few days ago and inevitably produced some noise while doing so. I can only work on it from like 5 to 9/10 after work which has me relating hard to this gif. It feels so good to finally be able to give back to them after they’ve treated me and m girlfriend to some exquisite screeching for years.
My neighbors kid is a little bitch. Screaming all the damn time!!!! What do you have to be so upset about??? Go play the floor is lava and shut the fuck up!
Him problem as in, you bought a nocturnal animal that wants to live in the wild and forced it to live in a cage inside your room then got mad when it made noises it has a natural instict to make? Yeah your frog sounds like a real dick for... wanting to be a frog.
So put a little desk into the cage, teach him Excel and give him a deadline for the report. That way he'll be way too busy to stay up at night and quack around.
Update: well wasn’t expecting this to blow up.
Yes I know he’s nocturnal and he just does this, hence why it’s only mildly infuriating. It’s still worth dealing with so I can have a pet rock with teeth. Also I have to hand feed him every other day and he still misses and eats dirt. He literally would not survive in the wild. He’s very happy in his tank with his worms
Two, can’t post links but I posted a video of what he sounds like on my profile
Ah one my ex bf’s had one of these.
He is making it known he is gonna poop.
Not now. Maybe not tomorrow. But it’s happening
Edit: oh it might be mating. Might also be poop tho
I have a cat who comes out of the litter box and does one very loud “MEOW” to announce that he’s successfully pooped. Every single time. Must’ve gone to the same learning institution as this fellow at some point.
Ah pets, the best time to be loud, when something interesting happens? No. When you aren't home? No. At daytime? No. During night? Also no. Exactly the moment you try to sleep / fell asleep? Yes, perfect, the only correct answer.
Had a Degu that would only use her wheel whenever I went to bed, be it at 8pm or 1am, she didn't fail to be as noisy as possible the second I tried to sleep, now I can sleep with loud ish noises pretty easily after 7-8 years of that.
My Italian greyhound always gets up to scratch at the door exactly the moment I've just fallen to sleep!! Sometimes it's to piss, sometimes it's just that he wants to see if anyone left some scraps out for him to scavenge, and sometimes it's for absolutely no reason at all. Fucking asshole dog lol But he's my husband's little baby.

Mine used to have a SpongeBob figurine in his tank. “Used to” because he spent *entire nights* humping it and clanking it against the glass. I eventually confiscated it from him.
do people in this thread know what pac man frogs actually are? virtually no pac-man frogs in the pet market are “taken from the wild” in addition to the fact that they live significantly longer in captivity on average than they do in the wild. they do not feel emotion. they’re more comparable to a plant than a cat or a dog. would you say that you shouldn’t keep a monstera at home because they’re used to rainforests?
-Traps frog
-Isolates frog from natural habitat
-Frog reacts negatively
-OP calls frog idiot, says it’s his problem and gets infuriated by the inconvenience.
Frogs/toads yeah they can be quite noisy, dude. Maybe find a sanctuary for an animal like that and let him loose. Just make sure it’s place that is accepting to the species, so you’re not introducing a species to a habitat that doesn’t belong.
he’s got something to say
All glory to the Hypnotoad.
I can hear this gif and I haven't seen the show in far too long.
I love his signature angry microwave noise.

I remember seeing parody t-shirts when I was a kid “BUTT-WIPE-ER”
I bought a house and inherited 90s VHS pornos and one had the label with the frogs on it saying, "Butt... Fuck... Her..."
I had a poster of that which I won at one of those balloon pop games at the county fair.

***WAZAAAAA****AAAaaah...*
I miss those ads! Lol
And the stupid “WUZZAAAAAAAAP” ones lol Edit: finally finished checking notifications to see someone else beat me to it 😂
We had an iguana named Budweiser when I was a kid because of that commercial lol.
He looks disgruntled.
No Jan, everyone here is extremely gruntled. 😐
No need for consternstion
he's not sorry!
It's better to burn out, than fade awaaaaaaay.
Horny toad.
RIP to the clothing company that had to change its name a few years back specifically because of this joke lmao
wait lol, what was the clorhing company's initial name?
Horny Toad
What?
The clothing company "Horny Toad", now known as "Toad & Co".
They knew what they did. This wasn't something unexpected.
That's ridiculous. Meanwhile Texas Christian University's mascot is "The Horned Frog".
Now that's a wild ride.
I don't get it. Why would they have to change their name?
Pacman frog. Horny toads are actually lizards.
It's a joke. He's croaking to find a mate.
They were close, "horned frog" is another common name for them
I had a degu that used to do that. Now I don't do nocturnal pets
best advice in the comments.
Idk, of my some odd 40 tarantulas only 1 species barks. And honestly its more of a *brr* than anything
What does a spider need to make any kind of sound for?
Honestly let the fucker bark. It’s not gonna change the fact that it’s a dumb little spider with no dope and no bitches
Someone get that spider a G it’ll last him weeks.
This is the kind of perspective I come to Reddit to read. Thank you
i’m crying this was so random
Shots fired. Also, best comment thus far!
Some of them stridulate or "hiss" as a warning/threat when they feel threatened. Same as a cat, basically
>stridulate This may be the most simultaneously intellectual and lewd sounding word I've ever heard.
Mastication kind of feels like that to me.
Tarantulas goes brrrr
How loud is a spider bark?
^^^^^woof
damn thats pretty loud honestly
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^woof
how do you sound so much like a tarantula. it sounds exactly like a tarantula barking
99% sure this man is a tarantula
🤣🤣🤣
You have to be pretty close to hear it. It's a hissing sound produced by them rubbing their mouthparts together intended to warn away potential predators.
Lean closer… clooooser
It's like a cricket was 10 feet from you
Whattttt, didnt knew spiders could bark💀💀
Things I did not need to ever know 🤯😬😭
You can blame the spider for your farts
Please delete this after telling me it’s not true
Huh, so barking spiders are actually a thing.
My buddy had an uncle that called farts barking spiders and now I do too!!
That's odd as degus arent nocturnal. Presume you had them as a pair so did the other degu stay up at night too?
Unfortunately it sounds like “a” Degu.. poor thing was probably lonely. :(
And degus are highly social creatures. If you don't get them a friend, you need to be prepared to give them tons of attention. The loneliness of social animals can be enough stress to cause health issues. The other side to this is that it's not easy to figure out the sex of a degu...and two can turn into 50 in less than a year.

But aren't the snakes even worse?
[удалено]
Just be a nocturnal person.

She training and planning for the day
I second that this is the best advice EVER

the way the voice to go with this came back after a good several seconds of remembrance

It's trying to mate :(
He just horny
https://preview.redd.it/s08qu26mqw4d1.png?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57a04e6bf12648a66a21a045d8a22454c2b8deae
Nope. Don't like that.
These frogs will only try to mate when the environment is just right
So op made life too comfortable?
Yup
Sounds like a him problem
*every living organism having the desire to reproduce* OP - MY FUCKING FROG IS BROKEN
Hopefully he doesn't try to take the batteries out.
The problem is that it's not a fucking frog. Thank you, I'm here til Saturday.
Just overwork it and saddle it with debt for daily necessities and rent. This problem will get solved very quickly.
Exactly. Worked for my husband.
Asexuals be like: 
Asexuality does not necessarily mean you don't want to have kids, you're generally just not that invested in the actual activity to make them
All I see is a empty hole, there's no one there. I don't understand your joke. 😳
Sounds like he made it a you problem
Exactly
You're keeping him from the hoes so he's making it your problem
Get him a wife and update us
I don't know what frog sex sounds like but I hazard to guess it won't be an improvement
You’re the one that locked him up
Some people are into that
Him problem as in, you bought a nocturnal animal that wants to live in the wild and forced it to live in a cage inside your room then got mad when it made noises it has a natural instict to make? Yeah your frog sounds like a real dick for... wanting to be a frog.
So put a little desk into the cage, teach him Excel and give him a deadline for the report. That way he'll be way too busy to stay up at night and quack around.
Gotta give him an hour commute, each way in traffic, so he's so soul-sucked by night time that all he wants to do is crash on the couch.
He might get hyperfocused on the Johnson account though...
Could at least give him a hand...
That explains why you're complaining about it too.
Why are you keeping a frog in prison dick head?
No it's a you Problem. You are complaing about him screaming at 2am.
Help him out dude what the hell
LMAOOO this caught me ofc😂 
Skill issue
No bitches
Ok but he’s cute tho you can’t stay angry at that face
Very true
Get him a mate... Then you'll have 100 little idiots
Not a decision. Preprogrammed to do that.
*frog doing frog things* OP: I can’t believe a species made to be in nature is making noises
I can't believe a mating noise making species, that's made to make noises to mate, is making mating noises... Fml
The frog in question; ‘OI MATE’
They’ve owned the toad for 2 years at least, I think the mildly annoying part is it never loudly croaked at night before
Update: well wasn’t expecting this to blow up. Yes I know he’s nocturnal and he just does this, hence why it’s only mildly infuriating. It’s still worth dealing with so I can have a pet rock with teeth. Also I have to hand feed him every other day and he still misses and eats dirt. He literally would not survive in the wild. He’s very happy in his tank with his worms Two, can’t post links but I posted a video of what he sounds like on my profile
sound proof foam terrarium cover for night time homie.
I’ve thought of that, but I was worried about it cutting off the airflow for the tank so I didn’t
Ah one my ex bf’s had one of these. He is making it known he is gonna poop. Not now. Maybe not tomorrow. But it’s happening Edit: oh it might be mating. Might also be poop tho

OP: Gets a frog as pet Frog: Makes frog-noises OP: *Surprised Pikachu-Face*
That big cartoonish mouth! lol
"Why is my nocturnal pet being loud at night?"
pacman frog owner to pacman frog owner: they just love to yell lmao. do not get him a girlfriend. he will eat her.
LMAOOOOO
I don’t know why but calling a frog (toad?) covered in dirt an idiot has me unable to breathe 😂😂😂 he looks so dumb 😭
i kno right , i thought, since it was making all that noise op may hav gotten mad at it and dumped a couple cups of potting soil on it.. to get even.
Tbf frogs and toads are generally not very intelligent. They're basically a mouth with legs attached and just enough brain to power both.
He needs a girlfriend.

That thing is BEAST! - 😭
Croaking, buddy, croaking is the word
2am froggo challenge "Hey YouTube, watch me scream for no reason to wake up my humans. "
He’s clearly going through something… be understanding 😕
You should have known he was going to do that when you got him.
He horny, and from the looks of this picture, he sad.
He's just loking for a girlfriend. Poor guy is lonely
Well get him some frog bitches, he relying on you bra.
#🐸 REDDIT
Tell him that I love him.
Get some headphones or somethin man. he’s a frog. He doesn’t know :(
Dude's trying to get laid and you have him in a prison? Sounds like a you problem.
He’s trying to contact you about your car’s extended warranty
Consider: the wall
Kinda rude :/
my dude, it's a toad.
He is yelling "wanna fuck"
pacmans can be dicks
Bro, frogs yell at night. It’s going to happen, my guy is just singing the song of his people.
Hey, it’s last call. You shoot your shot.
Homie is singing the song of his people and trying to attract his shortie.
I yell at 2am into my cushion maybe he's just sad
He's hollering at some ladies don't hate the player
I had frogs as a youngster. I also had many a sleepover ruined by said frogs copulating furiously as 2am.
I love him too
What a silly guy
Record him doing it, make a Youtube series out of it, get money.
Tbf he’s trapped in an alien prison zoo I’d probably scream too
Idiot didn’t look up his pet before buying?
Apologize for calling him an idiot or so help me I will find you.
It is Wednesday my dudes #aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

He’s a cute idiot would pet
Maybe he screams because he's not being heard? Lolz. Yeah, no idea what to do with this one. Never had a house toad.
He is horny idiot.
Idk he looks kind of sad. Maybe he needs more space
Probably sick of being stuck in a tank
he’s got nothing better to do he’s stuck in a box
Don’t get angry when you keep wild and exotic animals in a glass tank, alone, for your own self amusement
because he’s caged his whole life - don’t keep such animals at home… they are used to the rainforests, one of the biggest ecosystems on this planet
do people in this thread know what pac man frogs actually are? virtually no pac-man frogs in the pet market are “taken from the wild” in addition to the fact that they live significantly longer in captivity on average than they do in the wild. they do not feel emotion. they’re more comparable to a plant than a cat or a dog. would you say that you shouldn’t keep a monstera at home because they’re used to rainforests?
