I Think Glurmo is FAT
Glurmo is starting to look quite chunky! I'm thinking I should maybe cut back on his food but I want to be sure first! He has never been particularly active but lately I've noticed he doesn't really jump... ever. And Lrrr loves to jump from one end of the tank to the other and all over. The picture I've included is just from yesterday. Glurmo is the rounder one... lol. I feed him three medium crickets every other day. I feel Lrrr three medium crickets every day but I think I'm going to cut him back a bit now that his growth is slowing down. Thoughts? I don't want fat frogs!
Re: I Think Glurmo is FAT
i was always told that the way to tell if they are too fat is to look at the ridge above the tympanic(?) membrane. if it starts to fold over it, he needs to lose weight. if he looks the same now as when that avatar pic was taken, i would say he's good. that's why i feed my guys on Sundays and Wednesdays instead of every other day.

Re: I Think Glurmo is FAT
The reason I recently got concerned is because he isn't as active as he was and idk... he just acts fat if that make any sense lol. Lrrr has definitely gained the weight that he needed to gain so I need to cut his feeding too. I like to feed pretty frequently but in small amounts. It makes it easier to manage since I have to feed them in separate containers. Lrrr is a pig and will eat everything if given the chance! He's even been known to mistake Glurmo for a cricket! It's so frustrating because there's no definitive info on how much these guys should eat! But anyways, I'll try to get another pic of Glurmo tonight to post so show his weight a little better.
Re: I Think Glurmo is FAT
ya know. i have noticed that my 2 bigger guys aren't as active as they used to be. until food is introduced that is. i'm probably wrong, but i compare them to puppies and dogs. as they get older, they tend to calm down a wee bit. notice, i said a wee bit....lol i think as they get older, they calm down a bit. and remember, Lrrr is still relatively young, right? still a playful puppy??LOL
