    I see. Well I'm pretty new to this stuff myself (and I only have one WTF in my viv) but I've read that some people feed their animals in separate enclosures. I'm not sure what kind of stress "re-locating" each frog for her daily feeding might cause, but I would imagine hand-feeding it 'cricket bits' might be as stressful (if not more) Almost akin to force feeding.. If your "skinny" WTF is a shy eater, maybe you should consider a separate viv for her / or conversely, a separate viv for your aggressive eater? That way you won't have to handle them daily or separate them for meal-time. I really like bowl feeding because I can monitor exactly how much (or little) my little pal is eating. She's also "thinner" than I anticipated for a WTF (although she's still young) AND lately she's been eating exactly two crickets each night. No more, usually no less... Again, I expected her to gobble up everything in sight based on what I had read about Dumpys being voracious eaters.. Anyway, I'm rambling.. but - your WTF looks ok I would try to get her eating "live" crickets though.. by all means get many opinions though... I'm very new!!

    I don't think he looks skinny at all. He looks to be a healthy weight. When I took my frogs to the vet, I asked if my Whites were a bit thin (One is like yours) and he said he was perfect. He looks filled out and has that 'flap' of fat over his ear. Don't stress He could gain some weight, but its not really needed.
