Skinny Milk Frog help please!

Looks like the smaller one is actually younger than the other. Like they are from separate clutches.
Both look healthy though

They were from the same clutch (as far as I'm aware) and were identical when I got them. The size difference is a result of one growing and the other not growing! Which is why I'm wondering how to get my little one to turn into a fatty one!

Hi,
Have you considered separating them . . . . . . so to reduce the possibility of competition for food.
You could try D. Hydei fruit flies ( commonly used ....largest species) for the little guy ?
Leave the little guy in his own little enclosure for a while to make dinner 'easy'..... yummy !
The need hiding places ( holes ) -- way up high in their enclosures.

ie----silicone a 'reptile' cave to the side of the tank wall -- leave drain holes- they would love it!

I know that my Milk Frog (I only have one at the moment) is a very shy eater and will only eat one prey item per night lol (I feed dubia roaches).....I have to put the roach in a shallow deli cup and turn out the lights before the frog will eat.....I think seperating the frogs and feeding a small # of prey items will help.

I have 3 and I never seen them eat, In fact If I want to see them move at all I need to be awake between 0200 and 0600. I know that they are eating, they are getting bigger and fatter.

Hey guys!

Thanks for you suggestions!

Well I left them to it over the past few months, they are both happily eating, I'm using 3rd and 4th crickets due to their size difference. I still have no idea why he won't grow. As you can see the difference is getting big!

So to update the situation, the inevitable happened - Fatty got bigger, and ate Little Dude. Luckily I spotted Little Dudes legs sticking out of Fattys mouth and poked him until he spat him out. They are temporarily boxed up separately until I can sort a more permanent solution.

Stupid frogs!!!!!
