    Default Fat Froggy

    Above is a picture of my 3 frogs. The third one is a little harder to see so you may just see 2. The one on the top left is really chubby though. Not sure if I should be concerned or not because I know female gray tree frogs tend to be chubs but I'm just not sure about the froglets. The left one is also angled and poking his stomach out a bit so it's not as big as it can seem in the photo.

    But what do you think? Here are a couple other pictures taken from a while back.

    I have 2 round guys and a skinnier one. The one above is different from the first I believe, but still a bit chubby.

    The two chubby ones are younger than my skinny one. The pic above was taken a week or two after their tails had resorbed.

    I guess I was mostly concerned whether they looked healthy. These are my first frogs ever and I don't know if they are okay with chubby bellies like that or if they have the potential to be bloated or something. Frogs may not even bloat! Rofl! I just don't know.

    If they look healthy to those of you who know more than I, then I'm good. :P

    keep your eye on the thin guy, make sure he's getting some food. the others might just be piggies. I have read that Grays are GREAT eaters.

    They look fine to me for growing froglets . Once they are close to reach adulthood and max grow is when you reduce their food amount or space out the feedings.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
