Most frogs have very sensitive skin. Frogs breathe through their skin as well as with lungs, and they also don't drink - they absorb all the moisture they need through their skin. Because their skin is always moist, they also dry out easily - this is why frogs usually like to live near water. If you hold a frog all the time, you can kill it because sweat or chemicals (soap, ink, anything else you've touched) on your hands will enter its bloodstream through its skin. Frogs are sensitive and fragile and this could kill them. Also, the stress of being held by a person and the warmth (frogs are cold=blooded and not used to being held by something hot for an extended period) may stress the frog enough to kill it.

Would you be able to get 2 African dwarf frogs 2 shrimp and 2 apple in a 5 gallon tank?

A 5 gallon tank will only hold about 4 and a bit gallons of water. It is not big enough to keep all the creatures you have mentioned let alone more. The 2 shrimp would probably be the first to die followed by one of the frogs and then the other. The snails will probably last the longest.
