    Alternativly, your frog may be recognizing the approach of the storm about to enter your area. Any significant changes in weather may alter behaviours that one would consider as normal. Your frog
    may only be reacting to the weather frontal systems approaching your area. As this remains only a possibility, thoughts should also represent the re-hydration parameters outlined above by Griff.

    Can you put up a picture of your frog? When you say he got light brown, did you notice a sort of thick mucous-like covering over his body (sign of aestivation)?

    It sounds like he's trying to aestivate, but it's a bit odd that he started then came out, then started again.

    Temp fluctuations could cause the frog to go in and out. Seasonal changes can cause all kinds of strange behavior.
