    Question Is this white"s tree frog, too skinny, sick or is he ok?

    While visiting my frogs tonight my mom said one of the frogs didn!t look rightto i picked him up to see if i could see anything wrong. He looked very skinny. i couldfeel his ribs and see the bones on top his back legs. so i am thinking his brothers are notsharingthe food so thinking i had only 4 or so crickets left i put him in the cricket tank only to find i have no more live crickets so i will get some tomorrow ns feed him alone but i am concered he may really be sick. To me he acts normal. sits on his rock. loves to sit on my hand. i tried to get him to go for a dip. He didn't want to. should i be concernd?

    Not yet. Get some more crickets and make sure he is eating good. If he is behaving normal outside of being skinny than it sounds to me like you need to just fatten him up

    Tong feed him if you want to be really sure that he's eating. I do with one of my greys, it works out really well.
