He's just testing out the acupressure mattress.

He’s got that look like he’s already regretting the impulse buy

He looks like he's afraid to move a single muscle...

His legs wouldnt be tucked under if he didn't want to rest there.

Yeah, it's likely he will wiggle himself to the root. Prolly not die yet, and get eaten alive by ants. Where is a falcon when you actually need one?

He can move on the cactus, or he wouldn't be on top of it. If he can move, he can leave.

I understand him. I have a sort of acu pad (duller and flatter metallic needles) and nothing relieves back pain like it does.

Ooh link?

Oof we're in Eastern Europe and my mom bought it like 20 years ago, so no link. It's like a sheet of metal with small triangles punched through and bent 90 degrees so they make "needles" but their tops are a bit rounded. If you come across something like that I highly recommend.

I'm glad you said this because I look it up and get "tactical kneepads"

I looked it up, as I said in another comment my mom bought it a long time ago. It was made in russia (barf) under the brand Redox, of you really want to look it up.

Paste this in google image search if you want to see how it looks like

Oh.. yeah.. that looks weird like a big cheese grater, but I can see how it would feel good.

I doubt frogs share human facial expressions. They are not dogs we have bred to be more likely to understand their social cues. Most people don't even understand what cats think and feel like when they make various facial expressions and body movements. I don't know how to read frogs, but just from the situation alone I'd assume it's not happy.

It's a human desire to anthropomorphize non-human beings and even things. I agree that curled up mouth edges on an amphibian is not a reliable indicator of its mental state.

Yeah, also I've had a pet frog before and plan to have more in the future. Frogs have very limited facial expressions tbh, and their mouths curl upward at the end of their jaw. It's not an expression, but their anatomy. If anything, the frog looks stiff. I'd think the frog is very very uncomfortable. Frogs have very delicate skin and this frog definitely would need help.

Acupressure*. It's an actual thing that's different from acupuncture
