I haven't even seen him go soak himself in the water yet, so I would have to handle him. I couldn't believe the way the guy handled him at the pet store. He was sleeping on the back wall and just basically ripped him off the wall by his belly. I asked the employee you know you ain't supposed to be that rough with them right? He says oh I always pick up my frogs like that. I won't be going back there again. I'm guessing he is really skittish right now because of that incident but I can be wrong. I know sometimes they won't start eating till like a week after you put them in there new home by i'm a person that always gets worried about my pets and he being bony in the back is what concerns me a little.
