Grey Tree Frog Diet

If its shedding its skin, I haven't seen any skin peeling off. The mouth opens and closes without the legs going at the time. It just really odd behavior. But in some of the explainations it does sound like thats what this frog is doing. Thanks for the input

Sounds like the animal is definitely shedding its skin, both my Ornate Horned Frog and my American Toad perform the same exact motions as you described while shedding.
Unlike in reptiles the shed skin can be somewhat difficult to see at times. Somewhat like a slime coat, which as a previous poster suggested is often at the corner of the animals jaw, and consequently eaten.
Doesn't sound like anything to worry about. Enjoy.

WOW I have noticed mine bloating up and kind of doing a belly dance along the sides...looks like a pregnant belly with baby moving inside very weird and he looks really shiny too...I didn't even know they shed skin!

Can we see some pictures to rule out edema?

[froggiez]

Here are pics...I don't think it is edema, I hope not anyhow but I don't know what to look for in that...he was cleaning himself with his feet and looked as though pushing something in his mouth, I did see something in his mouth while he was doing this so I do think he was shedding as explained in this thread

He looks fine. Chances are he was shedding.

[froggiez]

thank you he has gotten a little fatter since I have had him, but I was overfeeding him a bit...lol
I also have a new recruit I am hoping to be a female, her throat looks really white though so good sign, she too has been shedding, been keeping her on watch before putting them together so far so good
