    Exclamation Help! American green tree frog bloated or full?

    I am a realtively about 2 week American green tree frog owner and i have five American green Tree frogs. I fed them their crickets like i usually do last night, put the crickets in their enclosure and go to bed, taking out what they didn't eat in the morning. I woke up this morning and found my usual five tree frogs, but the biggest one; blossom; was like this:Name:  bloated frog 010.jpg

    And i was immediatly worried. She looks really Fat! is she bloated, or did she just eat two crickets, or what? I found poop in their enclosure this morning, fresh, and i replace their water every day, and she is normal colored, she can open her mouth, all that stuff, so maybe she just ate two crickets?

    I am worried because she looks bigger than usual. Has anybody come across this before? What should i go if i should do anything? She moves around just fine, they all do. can anyone tell me what to do?

    Probably she ate more than one large cricket. How long the crickets were? My female does the same and make sure that the other frogs ate too. Also see if this particular one increases or decreases in size. It's kinda normal for my 3 tree frogs to bloat a bit after enjoying their meal in the night.

    the crickets are 1/2 and 3/4 and inch and the others look like they ate, but they are not as big or their bellies aren't as big as her's.

    She looks like a normal, fat, healthy tree frog to me.

    Don't worry. She probably ate more than 2 crickets. As I said it's normal to one of my female frogs. Just make sure you have the right temperature so it can digest the food well and no problems.

    Great reply's
    She looks great to me too!
    She likely had a nice big meal

    When you get a chance. Try to witness them eat their crickets.
    You will want to be sure they are not struggling with them.

    A sign of struggling would be ,stumbling when catching them, difficulty swallowing them, a tendency to bowel prolapses or constipation.

    After they grab a crick it is normal for the eyes to depress downward into the eye sockets to help move the food down their throats. If you should see them do this many times , get smaller cricks.

    The cricket's body length should be the same distance as the space between the frog's eyes.
    If you have 2 size frogs or if you are concerned about the cricket being too big--get smaller cricks.

    Don't be worried. That us not bloating. I once had a tree frog who was bloated. He was a balloon. About 2x more round and large than yours. He died the next morning. Yours just ate too much or something like that.
