    It could have been that the combined stress of going to the show, then to a new home was too much for her. It could have even exacerbated a previously unknown condition.

    Without knowing how large/old the frog was, it's hard to say whether it could have been hunger or not, but I kind of doubt it. They can slow their metabolisms way down. Going without food can be very damaging, especially for a younger frog, but you usually see signs of malnutrition or weight loss before one will drop dead of hunger.

    So, so sorry.
    Her death is so close to when you acquired her, so perhaps it was something completely out of your control?
    Like Lija said, it happens even when we are meeting the enclosure requirements for an animal.

    Very sorry, I hope you try again.
