I love his color .Thats what I'm looking for in a albino. You only feed him crickets. They need other types of food .

You also need to. Dust his food with calcium dust at least 3 times a week and dust with a multivitamin once a week. He needs a varied diet like BG said. You don't want to go higher than 85. To hot could possibly stunt his growth as well. Humidity needs to be between 70 and 80. Try feeding him other foods.
He eats meal worms. Tried to offer earthworms....didnt bite
Do dust with calcium and vits
Ill say this in the Snake perspective. I have snakes that will EAT AND EAT, but barely grow. Wheres ones that eat will grow huge.
Each species all grow at different speeds. Just Cause hes eating good for you doesnt mean he should be growing at the rate of everyone elses.
Just keep feeding him, and if needed, toss in wax worms.
Agreed. You will like this video

I was curious if growth rates would be similar with frogs...but first i have to get this one right.
Your frog needs variety in it's food. Try offering bits of earthworm again. Try roaches, waxworms as a treat.........the mealworms should not be given as a staple diet, the chitin is difficult for them to digest and can cause an impaction if they are fed as a staple.
Try some molly's or guppies. You can also try the powdered food from Samurai Frogs out of Japan or make your own mix as some of us do.
Keep in mind that calcium & vitamin supplements are crucial to it's health but remember that too much can do just as much harm as too little.
We breed these guys and have learned quite alot through the years. Please feel free to ask any questions you have in the future!!
Good Luck!!
It's possible the frog is already stunted - if they don't get much food early on for a prolonged period then this can all but eliminate any future growth potential. This is not a myth - I've experienced this with frogs. Just a possibility for you.

John has a good point. My fantacy frog has a picky appotite, so he is smaller fron the the ornate and cranwell,that was raised together at the same size. Some times he wouldnt eat for weeks.
