Bloated or fat?

[aegillesp]

I've noticed Marven is looking a little bloated over the weeks. When I Hold her she "leaks" water, not a little but enough to have runs everywhere she walks. She has been with Lucifer for a few months now, they sleep against each other, they don't fight at all and they get fed everyday sometimes every other. Should I take her to the vet? When Laputa, who passed, was bloated she was see through and her arms and legs were bloated as well. I don't see this with Marven and when she lets out water she seems a but thinner. If she gets xrayed will it show if she has eggs? She sometimes looks bumpy on the sides but I'm at a loss with this one...

This is her in October



and this is her last week.

Hold back on food to see if she slims out a little. Otherwise she looks good, my female is fatter than that.

The one thing that worries me though is the amount of water she expels when I hold her. It's a lot and its what Laputa did before she gave out except her arms and legs aren't swollen. Lucifer isn't fat though... If I was over feeding wouldn't they both be fat?

[kueluck]

Not necessarily, it depends on who eat how much. My female is way fatter than my male is. And when they expel their water it's a defend mechanism they use to hopefully stop the “attach” on them.
Here's a picture of Vera (left) & Vern (right), and Vern is on the fatter side in this pic. He's usually much thinner.


When was the last time Marven ate & pooped?

[aegillesp]

I believe she ate the night before and maybe last night. I put fewer crickets in this time. They refuse wax worms so they don't really get treats. She does poop a lot though. Holy cow she poops!

She actually looks very healthy. Ya wanna sell her?

[kueluck]

It sounds like she is just very happy and healthy, just enjoy her.

[aegillesp]

No, I'm going to keep her. I enjoy watching her. Especially when she jumps for her food. Just glad to know she looks good to others. I've only had one other frog who lets me hold them and she passed and now Marven let's me hold her and doesn't try to run or jump from me. She's a keeper for sure!

Most frogs "pee" on you as a defense. Sometimes it amazing me how much can come out!

I'm with the rest she looks fine.
