However, can you really be sure about the fact that your results are sound? What about what is going on inside the frog? Do you know for sure that your frog is not getting any internal issues, such as kidney damage, from the reduced availability of water?

Interesting idea, however. I have kept animals, such as bearded dragons and uromastyx without water for some time, but these are desert animals (Not phibs), and i had other ways of hydrating them (ex, putting water in/on their food, misting and letting them lick the drops).

So, you never put your frog in water? Not even for a soak or something while cleaning? Forgive me if i missed it..

And, do you ever get your frog checked by a vet for internal issues? You certainly have a interesting idea and a healthy looking frog, but looks can be deceiving... I'd be interested in seeing some test results, after a few months to a few years, and seeing how hydration and organ health stacks up against a normally kept frog.
