    can you get any more recent pics of the frog from different angles? From the picture you can see his jaw bone popping out which is not a good sign but in your avatar the frog looks healthy so im a little confused. Is it the same frog? was it taken around the same time?

    It is the same frog at different angles. Do you specialize in WMT frogs or have you owned one for a long time?

    after reading your posts a few things pop in a mind. how small are your small crickets? and how big is a frog? if you got a baby in July it has to be close to adult size now, if so s/he would eat about 10 adult sized crickets, every second day.

    the other question is if this is actually a girl - that is why i asked for pic of head sideways.

    1" deep water dish is not enough for adult frog, go for a size so water level would be up to a frogs chin and diameter so a frog would fit + some more.

    information in the article that you posted link to is not informative and off in some places, I wouldn't take it as a care sheet.

    by your description her poop sound good, but too small for subadult/adult. how does she pees? ( color?)

    so please reply to those and the Q above, will get to the bottom of this
