 A question.

Is it bad to hold frogs? I heard that they breathed through their skin, so if you touch then you can get oils in them and it can harm them, or something like that. Is this true?

 A question.

HI most frogs have very absorbant skin. They absorb their water intake through their skin. So if you touch them and you have anything on your hands it can be detremental to the frog......... Things such as soap or perfume or just about anything sometimes for extremely sensitive even your natural oils can affect them. Some frogs, if your hands are rinsed very well beforehand you can touch them without much problem....
