My girlfriend thinks that my frogs are too large and need to be put on a diet. What do you think?
I read on a different forum saying that if their skin/fat covers their ears, then they're overweight.
Judging from the photo, i does look like their fat is covering their ears, but im not expert.
The indonesians do have that problem. I have to australian dumpys and two indonesians in the tank. The two australians do not have that problem. One, which is not in the picture, is actually alot skinnier than all of them and doesn't eat nearly as much. I have an overweight red-eyed tree frog in another tank as well. Do you think it is unhealthy to keep frogs fat?
as long as its not slowing them down. or getting in the way. im not expert though. ive heard it can cover some frogs eyes. im sure it wouldnt hurt to slim em down a little hehe. mind if i see a pic of your overweight red eye? ive recently started bowl feeding and they are gaining weight like crazy. but ive been dying to fatten them up since i had some eating/stress problems after moving them into a new environment.
Well, if they are too fat it can lead to health problems and you don't want that.
Its better to be safe than sorry so i would cut their food down a little.
