You may be feeding them more than they are capable of digesting, which will cause problems.

I keep my frogs on foam pads, if I notice they havent pooped in a while I remove the foam pads so that they are in only shallow water. Being in the water all the time seems to help them drop a deuce much easier.
I strongly disagree with a 2" frog only needing to be fed 3 days a week. None of mine ever slow growth at 2" male or female. Babies and juveniles should be fed daily to every other day. A 2" frog is still a juvenile and will go through many more rapid growth stages before reaching subadult and adult stages. They need as much food and nutrition as possible until they reach subadult or 3". This also depends on what you are feeding them as some items do take longer to digest like fish, pinky mice, Hornworms, Etc. The foam rubber setup is mostly for a breeder's setup for ease of cleaning. It works, but with nowhere to hide the frogs tend to become stressed. Philippe does have some nice foam rubber setups with caves carved into the rubber that may be less stressful on the frog though and probably should be utilized in that form.
