Excessive Skin Shedding?

I've heard of them getting fungal infections and bacterial infections on their skin causing them to shed frequently. PM Terry(tgampper). You should get the help you need for sure.

Hmm I hope that's not the case. They don't appear sick and their skin looks good at least. There's no sign of illness and they always eat the skin and it comes off all at once. Its just they seem to shed more often than what every resource I've read says they should. Usually twice a week that I notice.

I'm not sure. How old are they? Could possibly be a growth spurt if young, but I don't know if ACFs shed more often during this period. It could be nothing. Terry may know whats going on though.

Oldest frog was purchased as a tiny froglet last May, the other a small froglet in June, and the last one is the youngest I think I got him in September, so these are still relatively small frogs around 3" to 4" give or take.

Could possibly be a growth spurt. I don't have experience with this species. Terry does and can definitely shed some light on this.

Could have been a two part shed. Are you sure you saw the entire thing removed the first time?

Hard to say, they eat their skin about half a second. They haven't been shedding so much lately. I removed some rocks which I guess may have not been overly aquarium friendly? They were collected from a state park in a creek, some water worn nice looking rocks. I could just be paranoid though, who knows. I did treat the rocks and left them out in the sun to dry all summer I assumed they were safe.
