Question
I have 4 aferican dwarf frogs one is constantly laying on its back. I touch it or hold it on my hand and it moves. What do I do to help it or is it going to make it? They are my 4 year old sons and I want to try to make sure nothing happens to them!!! His world revoles around them!!!!

Answer
Laura,
Laying on their back is a defensive stance and is quite normal. If he isn't showing signs of illness or injury, there is probably nothing to worry about. I have enclosed a website that might help you out.
