Mostly because we care if they make it through. This kid also stated that he has done this exact same thing before and the frog died.....pretty sure this is history repeating itself. Personally, I would advise this child to wait until he/she is mature enough to handle the care of a frog.
Oh I thought he was turning the heat up to 80 in his house to keep the frog warm while he was gone, I didnt realize he probably doesnt have an a/c. No, that isn't quite a cooling down, and I'll just ignore the condescending nature of your remarks here.
On the note about brumation, I was just raising the question, these are large hardy frogs after all that are evolved to deal with drastically changing seasonal conditions so I think its unlikely that the frog would die after two weeks if the right conditions were met before he left. That is, if those conditions were met. And they really arent all that hard to meet, unless you dont have an a/c unit or a cool basement.

He stated last time that he attempted to take his frog with on vacation on a long road trip which seems ridiculous, but he doesnt want to repeat that scenario obviously.

What I find odd is that there isnt any body that can at least come over every couple of days to mist the tank and change the water dish. Like, nobody at all. That seems odd to me.
