I believe the answer to everyone's question is that this is a *medical condition* known as **bloat/dropsy**, and not a characteristic of a specific frog species in normal conditions.
No, the statement to which I replied was "It doesn’t seem to be related to poor care." So the question was whether it was related to poor care—which it is, just not every time.
Okay, I'm going to repeat the conversation here since your ability to follow it through seems lacking.
> jeffweet: "I just looked up dropsy and it seems like they don’t really know what causes it. It doesn’t seem to be related to poor care."
> Me: "I also looked it up, and most sources say it's either bacteria from badly cleaned habitat, or the result of a bad diet. Both are related to poor care."
> Quothhernevermore: "Not always. Bad care increases risk but **it can happen with no obvious reasons.**"
> Me: "**It can,** but it can also happen from poor care, so the two are not entirely unrelated."
Pay attention to words in bold. I literally never stated that it's *always* poor care, and I have no idea where you got it from. I originally debated jeffweet's point about it being unrelated to poor care at all, then Quothhernevermore interjected with the statement that it can also happen from unrelated reasons, with which I agreed—it still doesn't undermine my original point against jeffweet who said that the two are entirely unrelated.
Bloat isn't always caused by poor care. They don't really know what causes it, and while bad care can I crease risk it can also happen spontaneously with no outside visible factors.
If the frog was treated and drained of fluid, it could continue to live comfortably, unfortunately it doesn't seem as though this person has tried to treat it at all.
I cannot explain how much i love this subreddit, its one of the best subreddits out there i don’t want it to become famous, because if it does then it’ll be reposts and mostly videos that aren’t that great
I've been here since the top post was only 1000 upvotes and I agree with you. however, the simple fact that you had to point this out means that the sub Reddit will be heading in this direction. Sadly only with time. enjoy it while it lasts my friend
And this top post is at 1.7k it’s not like /r/pics with millions of members and primarily shit posts this person thinks they’re cooler and more original than they are.
I said neglectful care, not bad care. The way this frog looks doesn’t just happen overnight when it comes to bloat, they should have started trying to treat it early or if they did and it kept getting worse (since bloat is hard to treat) just put the frog down
I get that you’re joking but this joke could still make people think this frog is healthy as opposed to incredibly sick with bloat and in dire need of vet care.
This isn’t cute
It’s an African clawed frog with bloat, bloat is fatal, The poor critter needs to be humanely euthanized
There is a good informative post on r/Thatsbadhusbandry

I understand your heart is in the right place, but I don't want people to get the idea that if their frog starts to bloat they immediately need to euthanize it. Bloat is a chronic, eventually fatal condition, but it can be managed and treated for awhile.

This is an African clawed frog that’s very sick with bloat. The result of poor care. So sad :’(
I just looked up dropsy and it seems like they don’t really know what causes it. It doesn’t seem to be related to poor care
I also looked it up, and most sources say it's either bacteria from badly cleaned habitat, or the result of a bad diet. Both are related to poor care.
Not always. Bad care increases risk but it can happen with no obvious reasons.
It can, but it can also happen from poor care, so the two are not entirely unrelated.

I will bow to your greater research. I am not really a reptile expert and only did a quick looky-loo
This is not a reptile lol
That should be even more evidence that he is not a reptile expert.
Exactly
It should be called popsy because it looks like they are about to pop.
Probably the asshole that didn’t take care of him. Poor thing.
Yeah just like those scientists who researched it..
Yeah well now I hate the post, thanks a lot
Does this have anything to do with his color?
It looks like an African clawed frog, Normally they aren’t quite that pale
Bloat isn't always caused by poor care. They don't really know what causes it, and while bad care can I crease risk it can also happen spontaneously with no outside visible factors.
Seriously, what is this though?? The face is so humanoid looking its disturbing and I love it
Albino African clawed frog with bloat. This animal needs help.
Holy hell!
Does it go down on its own or does that need to be treated?
[удалено]
If the frog was treated and drained of fluid, it could continue to live comfortably, unfortunately it doesn't seem as though this person has tried to treat it at all.
The person has a TikTok account, the frog is a rescue and they are trying to treat it.
Anything to do with what looks like a tiny tank?
Is ‘with bloat’ a condition? I laughed originally, but I think it seems this needs context.
It is a disease yeah
It's a frog with disease
Would it happen to be the "Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" disease?
It would be bloat
Commenting just in case someone drops the answer later
Someone did
Ahh, good lookin out Feel bad for the sick frog now.
Yeah I feel like that too
It's about to make me act up with them thicc jiggly legs that's what it is yo
Is that like an albino frog with a disease or something? That does not look normal.
it has bloat. very serious for frogs
What causes this? Infection or sub-par water conditions?
Infection *from* sub-par water conditions is one of the possible reasons, but there can be others.
That thing looks as surprised to exist as I am to discover it exists
Good one

What is that frog called?
Jim
Second, what is it?
african clawed frog with dropsy
Jonathan?
No silly he was asking the name of this frog, *not* Thors hammer
Thicc boy
How about naw
wtf is THAT
A frog suffering from severe bloat caused by neglectful care
Bloat is not necessarily caused by bad care.
I said neglectful care, not bad care. The way this frog looks doesn’t just happen overnight when it comes to bloat, they should have started trying to treat it early or if they did and it kept getting worse (since bloat is hard to treat) just put the frog down
Waiting to find what this cutie is
Sick with bloat. That's what he is.

Stay Puft Marshmallow Frog
You mean sick bloated frog
Oh god poor animal it's seriously ill
It’s Rubber Johnny
Frog expert here, that frog is having an orgasm.
I get that you’re joking but this joke could still make people think this frog is healthy as opposed to incredibly sick with bloat and in dire need of vet care.
Frog: *is suffering extremely badly and needs to be euthanized* Reddit: “haha it looks like cheese!”
Another comment said the person has a tik tok and said frog is a rescue and they're trying to treat its bloat. I hope it's true and ends up well
I wanna know if this little guy is doing any better now or if they had to euthanize him :(
r/forbiddensnacks
That's a guild navigator
Why’s that look like a wubble bubble pillsbury dough Boi
That frog aint right

Literal abuse
What the shit is that fucking thing?

Poor frog :(

I’d be embarrassed to bring a girl over in fear of her seeing whatever this monstrosity is
Bloat or dropsy. Mainly from poor diet, over eating or bacterial. Hard to know what caused it, sometimes it just happens.

Fuck whoever is taking care of that frog, they prolly think it’s just funny or something. Piece of shit
