    Question Whites Tree Frog Not Growing

    Hi,

    We got 2 baby Whites Tree Frogs about 4 months ago. One of them has grown very fast, looks strong and the healthy. The other frog has grown slowly and seems weak. We are wondering if the larger one has taken most of the food. The small one doesn't seem to have the same strength in his back legs and isn't as good at catching crickets as the big one.

    Anyone got any advice. We're trying feeding him on his own, but it's impossible to feed the little crickets with tongs. He wouldn't take waxworms either. At the moment we've put him on his own in a little enclosure with some crickets, see if that helps.

    Just want to fatten the little guy up really.

    Thanks.

    Hi Jenny,
    I think that's a perfect solution.
    I would weigh him, as well.
