    Here are some of my frogs! They are 2 and half months old. I think they may all be females.

    Thanks! I ordered a frog hatchery kit from insectlore.com and they sent 7 tadpoles which all survived

    They all look healthy frogs but they're still very young and I can't tell what sex they are. Is the frog in the first picture the same one that's in the top right hand corner of the second picture?

    I'm not really sure to be honest, but I think so. I'm glad they are looking healthy. Here's a pic I took of their sibling, Jupiter. He's much smaller and his back feet seem small/deformed but maybe he just needs to grow more. What do you think, does he look healthy to you? He's still an awkward swimmer, but at least he's been eating these days. I didn't think he was going to make it for a while there.

    How long did it take for the tads to morph?

    The reason I asked about the frog in the first and second picture is that its left forelimb appears to be slightly malformed insofar as it's bent inwards in both pictures. I suspect that Jupiter's hind legs are not as they should be too. I think that both frogs should be okay though in the protected environment of a tank. Unfortunately this sort of thing isn't uncommon and deformed forelimbs afflict different species of froglets, most notably in poison dart frogs, where the condition's known as "spindly leg syndrome". I don't know the reason for it. The best thing you can do is continue looking after the frogs as as well as you have been doing so far.
