Is my Whites tree frog a healthy size?

[blaze]

He has not gained or lost weight since I have purchased him. I just wanted to know if my frog is a healthy size/weight?

He does look small, but not unhealthy. Maybe add some meal worms (cut their head off before feeding) or feed your froggy more frequently or more in one setting depending on what your feeding schedule is.. If he is eating well and still not gaining anything, take him to an exotics vet if you're concerned.

He does look a tad "thin"....how often and what are you feeding him?

For young frogs, I always offer them food every day....occasionally they will go a day or two per week without eating. My staple diet for my frogs is homegrown dubia roaches which are much more nutritious than crickets.

There is a red tint to the color, I hope this due to a red light bulb?? And if this is a young frog you do want to feed every day, and if you want to fatten him up use wax or butter worms, but just a few worms each week.

Well, For the one picture with the red tint to it, I used some Photoshop LOL. I feed him 2 times a week, Usually around 3-5 crickets each time. He goes nuts and eats right away!! I had tried feeding him meal-worms in the past, but he didn't like them. Hes not too crazy on eating from my hand as he has AMAZING accuracy. How ever today, I feed him 3 meal worms and 3 crickets. At first I had though he had worms, So I did a quarantine, and since then I found out he does NOT have worms. He has gained I would estimate about 4-6 grams since I purchased him. He was stupid skinny when I got him. As for holding him. Every time except today, He has squirted his water out at me. I wanted to know if he would eventually stop doing this if I set up a scheduled routine holding? I will take some pictures of him tomorrow to show you how he is looking.

He is young, But not a juvi. He is about 2 and a half years old.

Does not seem to be of good weight for a 2 year old. How is he eating?

I don't even know if that is 100% how old he is. I purchased him from a reptile breeder at the reptile expo. He told me he was 2 and a half years old. How much should I be feeding him? I feed him 4-6 crickets 2 times a week. I feed him large crickets and he loves to only eat them from his tank. Yesterday though, I feed him some mealworms because it was the first time he said yes to some. Here are pictures taken 15 mins ago of him.

Young frogs should be fed every day with what ever your food choice . Gut load food to make more nutritious and dust couple times a week with calcium dust, if you do he should gain waight .
If he is 2 years old he can be fed every other day . But don't worry if you want him to gain a bit feed more often . Use your best judgment . Good luck

I agree with Bolisnide. Bump up the feedings, but he looks fine.
