Toe-less GTF

[chrisq3]

so I just adopted a GTF and it appears to be missing its toes on its front left leg. I'm not sure if its a genetic defect or injury. I hear that early in life its possible for it to grow back. Any opinions? He/she seems fine otherwise. Doesn't skip a beat and just inhaled a bunch of crickets. Doesn't seem any clumsier then my other frog which is pretty clumsy.

So long as the area is healed and without infection he should be fine. Do you have any pictures?

These were the best I could do.

To me that looks like a White's tree frog.
Good that he's eating, I'm sure he'll be fine

It's hard to see but it looks as if its already healed? Can you get a brighter image of the foot perhaps?

My first tree frog was a Gray Tree Frog rescue many years ago when I was around 12 or 13. She had a defect where the toes on her back leg were all morphed together. She lived for about 5 years in captivity before she passed. One of the best frogs I've ever had! And I also now have a FBT that only has 3 feet. One of his legs is just a stump. They are very hardy and adapt to these injuries very well (after it has healed and gotten away from infection at least). I doubt he/she will grow them back, though I am no expert on that subject, however, I'm sure he/she will live a long happy life with his/her handicap. I hope for the bests or both of you!
