  • Has anyone ever done a scientific study by actually placing a frog in a pot of  water & bringing the temp up slowly?

    I would think that the animal would vacate the premises as it became uncomfortable. :cheers:

  • For lobster, if it is a slow boil, they fall asleep and die without noise. If you throw a lobster in hot water, they jump and scream. I'm sure frogs are the same way. You still need a lid because a frog might not want to be in the water.
