    frogs can bloat up like that if their water has excessive dissolved gases in it. (and alot of Americas tap water does) The tiny gas bubbles pass throught the frogs skin and cause them to bloat up like a balloon...sad really. Just because you use dechlorinator doesn't make "frog-safe" water...if you use tap water, you have to let the water sit out a day or more to allow these gases to dissipate.

    And if it was a Budgett's, don't let that stop you from getting one, they are the most comical, adorable and life enriching amphibians I have ever kept...yet
