Just harmless sheeding? [Dwarf African Frog]

[William]

I got him tuesday, and he has what appears to be skin floating up off his back.

I'm hoping its just harmless sheeding, unless theres something more drastic that may have to do with this?

My frog has done that about 3 times now. He/she actually eats the skin as it is coming off it's back. My frog still seems to be healthy, so I wasn't worried about it much. I am by no means an expert on african dwarf frogs, so I hope I am on the right track with the "not to worry" attitude.

Yep that would be shedding! And like Platy said, Its very common for them to eat their skin! But remove whatever they don't. http://www.pipidae.net/index.php?home.php I just found this guys site yesterday, He breeds them, and has a some good info, and a forum for AFDs.

Cool, I was just worried about him with my recent rash of unexplainable deaths.

Thankyou
