Too skinny Cuban?

[Julia]

Last week I took my Cuban Tree frogs to the vet for their foggy eyes. The vet commented on how she felt the frogs looked a bit thin. She did not seem entirely confident about this type of frog, I had to tell her what they were.(Cuban Treefrogs) What do you guys think? Are they too thin?

They look alright to me. She may be thinking of White's Tree Frogs, which tend to be obese in captivity. You may want to consider dosing them for parasites (well, your vet should do the dosing) - Cubans are entirely wild caught, and so they almost invariably carry parasites that may interfere with their ability to gain weight. Personally, I wouldn't be concerned about potential internal parasites unless the frogs aren't doing well.

Thanks John. If it wasnt for the spots on their eyes I would say they are very healthy frogs. They are active at night and eat like crazy. I just wanted to be sure I was not "starving" them.

They look fine to me.
