I soaked him fast and got the skin off... but the lack of nutrition and oxygen had been too much.
I fed my guy mostly inverts with the occasional feeder fish for variety and amusement. It was so fun watching him hunt those fish.
I miss him, but don't trust myself, or the cold and dry of CO, enough to get another one...
Isn't that called Estivation? Where the skin hardens over him when he hibernates and he sheds it afterwards?
I want one! They are very pretty coloration choices and I think frogs are adorible.

Stupid Wikipedia.
So how can you tell the difference between just hibernating and being 'trapped' in their skin?

We all are trapped in our skin, I am and you are.
Frogs will slow down with reduced temperatures and shorter light cycles.

Rodents as a staple for amphibians causes a lot of problems including obesity and fatty liver disease....
2.) Why are you feeding overly sized prey to those frogs, rodent or otherwise?
Yes they can take down meals incredibly large, but it doesn't mean they should...
3.) Why are you feeding a Savannah monitor to that frog?
"If" you claim the Sav was already dead, why is the title "Pixie Owns Savannah."?
Nothing against you, but I'm curious to these questions...
