    Default One fat toad one skinny toad. Should I be worried?

    Hi there,

    I've had my frogs for about six months and I feed them gut loaded crickets with no problems. It's really hard for me to vary their diet since we just have a petco and all they have are crickets. Anyway, I have one frog that is ALWAYS skinny. And the other one is pretty chunky. If I have time, I stay and watch and see who eats what, and it appears they share properly. Does it mean I have a male and female? Or just... different frogs. Should I do something? Feed skinny frog more? or just leave well enough alone. He (she? it.) has made it six months without much problem. They're both a pretty perky shade of green most of the time, unless my cat is nearby then they get a little worried, haha.

    Default Re: One fat toad one skinny toad. Should I be worried?

    Hi there
    If one is fat and the other is skinny, he is outcompeted for food. I would give the skinny one a
    waxworm every week untill he is nice and balanced and feed the other one seperately, make
    sure the crickets can fit in the space between their eyes, thats about how large their throat
    is. Pictures would greatly help
