I have 4 ADFs, of which 3 are very fat. What to do, if anything? They are not "bloated" but are just "wider" than normal, I think. They are as round as a quarter and about 1.5 inches long. They have what I would describe as raised "ridges" along the side of their torsos. The 4th little froggie is slender and more normal looking. She (I think) eats out of my hand and I am afraid not getting enough food. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!

Post pictures if you can. It is probably easier to tell that way. I put a picture of my ACF on thinking he was a healthy size, and was told he could use a little more fat.
Here are the pictures I took with my ipad.
The one on the left (and the middle) is the fat one, obviously, and the one on the right is the normal one? 3 of the frogs look like the fat one. The one in the picture (on the left) is about 6 years old and has looked like that for several years. The other 2 are just like her and seem perfectly healthy except for their size. So-o-o-o, what do you think? How do I put the fatties on a diet, or so I need to, and keep the little one from starving? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

As you acknowledged in your post at http://www.frogforum.net/aquatic-cla...exing-adf.html , the plump appearance of your frogs is most likely attributable to the fact that they're egg-laden females. I've had some females in the past that were almost as broad as they were long.
It is a relief to hear that! Thank you for responding! I have one fat cat and two thin ones so I have to monitor all feeding times to make make sure they all get their allotted amount. I was afraid I would have to do that with the frogs as well - what a nightmare that would be!
