    He is shedding his skin. This is normal. Soon he will rub himself with his hind legs and front legs pulling his skin into his mouth and eating it. Completely normal.

    You're welcome. you wouldn't believe how many times we get this reaction from frog owners who see them shed for the first time. It is very cool.

    Yeah, that is really cool to see but the first time you see them do it you kinda freak out!

    Do all frogs do this, or just tree frogs? I have FBT's, I've never seen anything like that.
