Yes. Frogs, like all amphibians, molt periodically. This can occur as often as once a week, though it usually is less frequent. The skin typically splits in the back, and the frog puffs up and works it forward, rubbing its arms against itself to pull it all off. Many amphibians will eat the molted skin as they remove it.
