Yes, frogs and toads can respire through their skin as well as through their breathing apparatus and lungs. This is very important for those living in areas where temperatures fall below freezing. This enables frogs to hibernate at the bottom of ponds and continue breathing through their skin.

The frog does not breathe through its skin alone. When the frog is underwater, oxygen is transmitted from the water directly into the bloodstream. When it submerges from the water, a pair of simple, sac-like lungs take over.

frogs breathe through their skin when they are in the water because they absorb small amounts of oxygen from the water particles, thus they can stay under water for longer, however they still have to surface occassionally to fill their lungs with oxygen.
