snap with your hands, dremel, tin snips...whatever you think will work and you've got handy will work perfectly fine. just make sure that you do the fragging at least 2 inches below the flesh covering the skeleton. i always did mine wherever the branching started though.

I just snap it like a Thanksgiving wishbone. Weare gloves however because there can be sharp protrusions on the skeleton.

update, i was given a craftsman accu cut for x-mas it so i decided to try and use it the cut one of the branchs off. let me tell you it worked great. as i look at the frogspawn now... it doens't even look like i fraged it. a bit smaller but there both open and look like they did before i fraged them. i would say its a successfull first frag.

here is a link to the tool i used.
