Why are African dwarf frogs aquatic?
No. For one, you have harmful oils on your skin that would irritate and harm your frog. For another, you can very easily break their bones or kill them in your attempts to hold them. For another, they don't like being held, they're wild animals. They're much more fun to watch, anyways. Yes,you can. You just have to be very careful! I have some and it is very hard to hold them because they are most likely to jump out of your hand and start hopping away and if you don't put them back in time they will die. But, you really shouldn't hold them.

What are the two main organs of a frog's respiratory system?
Cutaneous Respiration - skin
o The gaseous exchange between the skin of the frog and the external environment -water and air.
o The skin of the frog is supplied with blood capillaries.
o The skin contains glands called the cutaneous glands, which secrete mucous. This keeps the skin always moist and retains a thin film of water underneath the surface of the skin. This condition enables the exchange of air between the blood vessels and the outside environment. They also resort to cutaneous respiration when they undergo either hibernation or aestivation.
Buccal Respiration - mouth
o When the frog floats on the surface of water or while resting on land they respire through the buccal cavity.
o Atmospheric air is sucked in through the nasal openings when the floor of buccal cavity is lowered.
o In the same manner the air is send out when the cavity rises.
o The alternate lowering and rising of the buccal cavity, buccal respiration is bought about.
o The buccal respiratory system of the frog accounts for 5% of the oxygen intake.
Pulmonary Respiration - lungs
o This type of respiration comprises of: the nasal cavity, buccal cavity, larynx, trachea, a pair of lungs and the alveoli inside them.
o The adult frog has very simple, pinkish, sac like organs called lungs. They are not well developed and are placed in the anterior of the frog's body.
o The numerous sac like structures inside the lung called the alveoli are richly supplied with blood capillaries.
o Pulmonary respiration accounts for 65% of total oxygen intake.

What are the three ways of respiration in a frog?
Frogs have multiple ways to breathe. While underwater, the frog's skin grabs oxygen directly from the water. While it's on land, it uses its lungs, but unlike humans, who use the diaphragm muscle to pull air in, the frog has to puff out its throat to get the air in. This is what causes the iconic frog ribbit.

Which pesticide do you use to kill frogs?
NOT EVERY BODY LIKES FROGS! that is the popular answer from people who want them in their garden........SOME DO NOT.
A good way is to pour a salt solution on areas but the salt will kill any plant life. Slug pellets will take away a main food source from the frog so could reduce numbers.
AnswerWhy would you want to kill frogs? Frogs are beneficial to the garden. Don't kill frogs.Sleep is also beneficial to my family and I, and this time of year (May/June) the bullfrogs are sounding like packs of little yapping dogs, making it impossible to sleep. So while I like frogs, I also like to sleep. That's why I would want to get rid of them. No, the pond is not directly accessible, so I am reduced to throwing plastic bottles full of water to make a frightening noise and shut them up - for about 30 minutes at a time. Next I'm going to throw something lethal, like pesticide in a plastic water bottle with a 'cling-film' cap that will come off on impact. Or something.
