Can anyone tell me what it means to "open a box of frogs"

Much the same as "open a can of worms", I'd guess. That means to reveal - unnecessarily - a lot of interconnected problems. If you imagine actually opening either of these things, what you'd see inside is a mass of entwined, writhing, damp creatures which you wouldn't want to touch and which would be almost impossible to disentangle and sort out. The same applies to such 'problems' in real life...if you can avoid them, do!
