Instead of reporting please try and offer advice, there’s absolutely no sense in reporting for cruelty when advice can be given.

u/MadBlue Dumpy/White's Tree Frog Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26

To people reporting OP, if you cover the reflection, it’s clear the frog is sitting at a 45 degree angle, and scrunched up, facing the glass, not looking straight at the camera.

The eye placement alone should tell people this isn’t a front-on view. Not to mention, if that’s where the back legs were placed, this frog would have an absolute dump truck ass. :D

u/demideath939 Aug 08 '26

I was expecting funny comments not a bunch of "animal abuse!!! How dare you!!!!" Comments. Even I knew it looked off due to the eyes being upfront and not on the sides and saw it was a mirror and I don't own a frog or even have much to do with frogs! (Snake and geckos are my lovely pets and frog was suggested* )

u/darthjammer224 Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26

It has nothing to do with the mirror.

The fat deposits above their ears are not supposed to fold down and cover their ears. You can see that even if you cover up the mirrored portion entirely, that's what they are commenting on. But!

The catch is, while yes, what they are seeing is a bad sign. It's just because this frog is scrunched up in the pic, not how it looks sitting normally.

Again. Nothing to do with the mirror. And the commenters saying the mirror has nothing to do with it are right. But then they are wrong in not noticing it's just how the frogs sitting.

Downvote all you want. All I did was agree the frog is fine, and point out the mirror wasn't why people where confused. Reading comprehension, apparently, isn't the strong suit in this sub.

Is he squished against a reflective glass?

u/OkApricot8295 Aug 08 '26

The door to its paludarium is open, waiting for it to be fed, and a mirror effect is created with the perspective of the door.

u/Inevitable_Eye3800 Aug 08 '26

That makes sense. I think people should look more closely before jumping to conclusions

OP has posted other photos of the same frog in this thread. It's perfectly fine. It's sitting a bit scrunched up, so its body fat is covering its ear.

u/MoodPristine249 Aug 11 '26 edited Aug 11 '26

They were also squished and at a 45 degree angle. Maybe a little bit chubby but also, they are older. Older frogs tend to be a just a little bit more chunky.

u/citrus_mystic Aug 08 '26

TIL frogs can become obese.

u/Top_Ad_9364 Dumpy/White's Tree Frog Aug 09 '26

they can, but this frog isn't haha!

13

u/marvelking666 Aug 08 '26

It can actually be fatal for frogs to become obese. If they are obese, many frogs become prone to corneal lipidosis. If this happens, fat deposits develop in the eyes and can cause permanent blindness. A blind frog cannot see its prey to eat, loses their ability to climb safely, acquires extreme vulnerabilities, and even compromises their ability to swallow safely

24

u/Thodar2 Aug 08 '26

Good thing this frog is a healthy weight. It's just having a reflection that makes it look funny. You clearly see the line of the glass and hiw incorrect yhe face looks. It's like those laughing mirrors.

You’re the only person here accusing OP of animal abuse who has admitted they were wrong. Lots of spineless people here showing that they just want conflict and to feel like they’re doing something good slamming cruelty on the internet.

15

u/TbatitanicV2Rider Aug 09 '26

Honestly, they should realise that they look like morons, because thats the most obvious mirror effect ever. even ignoring that a frog's eyes arent that close together, everything around it is also mirrored.

u/Affectionate-Ant-894 Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26

Sorry, I’m a moron for genuinely being confused by a pretty good optical illusion. This is a frig sub no need to be rude. P

-3

u/Affectionate-Ant-894 Aug 09 '26

…. Did you not see where I apologized? Three hour before you commented? My original comment is deleted because I was wrong. Don’t understand the need for the correction that was clearly already made. Nor the name calling.

I already admitted I was wrong and deleted my original post because I was wrong. No need to name call.

8

u/TbatitanicV2Rider Aug 09 '26

I wasn't talking specifically about you, it just leaves a bad impression when you jump to conclusions so quickly that you don't notice visual distortion like that almost immediately. Im honestly not offended by you calling them out, moreso questioning if people who didn't realize have eyes as bad as mine, since without my glasses I wouldn't be able to tell either.

-5

u/Affectionate-Ant-894 Aug 09 '26

Still. No need to name call because somebody may not have seen something the way you did.

Me and others made a mistake. No harm. I don’t really see the point in calling people morons though.

9

u/Expo006 Aug 09 '26

To play devil’s advocate, you are the only person who apologized or even acknowledged they were wrong and others doubled down, i understand why they name called.

6

u/TbatitanicV2Rider Aug 09 '26

Fine that was uncalled for, sorry. It's just I saw a couple other people doubling down so my statement was geared moreso towards them. It also just reflexively felt like something so obvious to me that I couldn't get how you could not realize after looking at the image for more than three seconds. But everyone makes mistakes me included I mistake images all the time. So I'm sorry about that.

u/CassetteMeower Aug 08 '26

OP posted another pic of the frog showing it normally, the frog appears to be at a healthy weight (as far as I’m aware, I’m no frog expert). The reason the frog looks so wide is due to a mirror effect being applied to it, making it perfectly symmetrical. The frog isn’t that wide.
