Help! Baby Grey Tree-frog not growing!!

[MsBlueRose]

They are adorable! You are doing well with their upkeep. Just make sure you are giving them vitamin/calcium dusted feeding A LOT. The adults only need it once every few feedings, but the little guys need it nearly every feeding. Keep feeding him daily and he will be ok. The size difference seems to be simillar to my adult male and female, My largest and smallest in my colony. My male is a good 2.5 almost 3 inches long and the female is only half his size at maybe an inch and a half, 2 inches if she is completely flat on the glass, lol. But even though they are a great deal different in size, they have no problems living together. I was surprised when my female tried to eat my smaller males foot and refused to let go of it, but other than that I don't have problems like that with them. If he seems to be lonely, put him back in with the others and just make sure he is safe. If you are worried that they are gonna eat him, just don't leave him unattended with them and feed him alone to ensure he is not a snack for the others and that he gets ALL of his food. Good luck with the little guys!

Thank you, I have made a note of your very good advice. I had a couple of very small moths tonight (Uk time) I have given them to Tich even though were still slightly large for him, fluttering insects usually do it for these frogs.
I have just looked and cant see them in the tank so hopefully he just had his first moths, (we always let them hunt moths as they so love to do so and I dont think left overs would hurt - although left over moths? I dont it likely!! Thanks again for your help regards Jay

I am glad he is doing well, I am sure you guys will get along fine with him. Summer is coming and he will have quiet a wide selection of flying insects to choose from here soon, so long as you don't mind hunting them down for him. I like surprising my colony with moths and varius flying insects too, your right, they love the hunt! And I am glad I could help even if just a little. Your very welcome!

Thought I would post an update little frog is still thriving just not growing I have a ( not very clear) photo which might help show his size in terms of scale. (I am so sorry it is on its side if anyone knows how to turn them round then I would love to know). The bowl he is on is no longer than 3ins and about 1.5ins wide, it is also no more that 0.5ins deep! Hope that helps give an idea of his size.

Wow, he is tiny! I do hope he grows a little bit bigger at least, it may take him a while to have another growth spurt. But I sure he will grow a little bit more at least. My Kermit was only about 3 cm when I got him. He grew so slowly we did not even notice him growing... It took him over 2 years to become adult sized. He is still my smallest male, but he is with in average size for a Grey. He is now about 2 1/4 inches, which if I am correct is about 6 cm. He grew slowly, but he did grow. Ofc, I would not have minded if he stayed tiny, I loved his adorable Bright lime green color that never changed when he was a baby! Now he is only that color about once or twice a week. I never did figure out why he did not develop the black outlines around his patterns, but I like the gold out line better anyway. Good luck with the little cuttie pie! Just keep giving him dusted insectes as often as you can and he will grow when he is ready.
