New to frogs

[stirstick]

Hi everyone, just picked up a pair of adf for my son for his birthday tomorrow. Cant wait to give them to him. My town was completely sold out of them and had to drive an hour away to get them.

Here's a shot of one of em hanging out in the terracotta pot. Not sure hold old they are but they are just iddy bitty.

So bad news. The little guy in the pic didn't make it I think. He was floating last night but clearly alive. This morning he is bloated and not responding The other is doing well. To be honest I was a little worried about the one who died as he was a lot less active than the other and I never saw him eat. So I'm hoping no issues with the survivor.

Correction he did just respond to a light tap on the glass. Very sluggish and bloated. Anything I should do?
