I'm not too familiar with young frogs. I got Mojo when he was about 2.5 inches all the way around. This one looks a tad on the skinny side (at the hips) but I know you have been have a few problems with feeding. Not sure if this one is calm or not, but when I handle my Mojo he trys to get away, he really doesnt like to be picked up. I also use vinyl gloves when handling now so I don't poison my frog with what ever could be on my hands.
