So I have 2 African clawed frogs, one of which I got a month ago, and one which I have had since the summer that my family has been caring for while I was at school.

the older frog is significantly larger than her new friend, but not as large as I thought she would be. When I left for school she was in a ten gallon, but my family had been very stressed and busy and rather than change her water they moved her into a 1 gallon critter keeper! she also tends to ignore food that sinks to the bottom and so she relies on me to hand feed her, and do frequent water changes. Due to the circumstances I am quite worried her growth may have been stunted! over the past month that I have been home feeding her daily though she has grown noticeably larger. (she eats freeze dried krill chunks and frog pellets, and very rarely guppies as treats).

So my question is this: I want to bring my frogs back to school with me to remove that burden from my already very busy family, and to make sure they get proper care. the problem is I am technically not supposed to have them at school, and the largest tank I can bring them in is a 5 1/2 gallon. Would keeping them in this size tank until May cause stunted growth? I love them dearly and wouldn't want to cause them any harm! I can move them into a 30 gallon tank when I am home for the summer.

Any help would be appreciated, and thank you if you got all the way through this haha!
