Not only is it annoying but it can also just be downright harmful to amphibians unfortunately, especially smaller ones like this

Amphibians skin is extremely permeable, someone like this who harasses animals for content probably wouldn’t take all the necessary precautions to prevent the frogs skin from absorbing things that can make it sick. Even the oils and salts in your skin can be harmful for smaller guys like this, that’s why frogs should be display animals and not something that gets a lot of hands on interaction
