Yeah he/she does look a little thin. Keep an eye out for worms in the frogs poop. They can cause them to become thin even when fed well. Those should fatten him/her up. How big is he/she SVL?

[pansie]

about 2 inches SVL

about 2 inches SVL

You can start feeding him/her pinky mice once every month or 2 when he/she reaches 2 1/2". Just make sure its a small pinky especially for his/her first one. What your feeding him/her now should do the job. Silkworms/Hornworms/and Nightcrawlers are very nutritious and excellent frog food.

Thank you, but I'm by far not the best. I'm pretty sure that some of the breeders like Jessica of Ivory Reptiles and Mike from Mikes Frogs are a bit more experianced than I. One of the best ways to learn is from experienced people like us and by observing your own frogs closely. You can learn a lot about your frog from its own behavior and activities. Its like studying your frogs. All you have to do is pay attention for a couple hours a day and you will notice little subtle traites that are otherwise overlooked. Plus its very enjoyable to spend time with your frogs.
