    I think it depends on the frog. My frog was always out when he was younger. Now that he is older I don't handle him as much. If you frog seems to get stressed then yea I would avoid handling him. Well my frog could be a little older than he is. I have had Hetfield for 15 years and he wasn't a total baby when I got him.

    Hi All,
    I have 6 tree frogs for (going on 3 years). One A. moreletii and 5 A. callidryas.
    I can count on one hand how many times I have actually touched them.
    Rule of thumb- do not touch unless absolutely necessary !
    It's so stressful to them when they are handled.

    Just think -what they might think? :
    1)I am going to eaten

    or

    2)I am going to be squashed
