    Roger,
    Have you considered talking w the breeder? Or getting a refund?
    The breeder had to have seen this frog's front limb - unless, of course, it occurred when putting the frog into a deli container at the time of purchase? This is one of the many reason I don't vend this way; I don't like to do ANY transferring at a show.

    I understand you have had him for 2 weeks --- but how old is the frog ?
    I know that it's a real pain to get a photo up right now. Can you get a clearer photo of him?
    In he the above photo --- is it my imagination ?? , or do I see his bottom jaw a little droopy?
    If this is the case, he may have a calcium deficiency. Be sure to feed and /dust daily
    " " " " " This may explain his appearing less energetic.
    " " " " this can be corrected You might consider a smaller QT type set-up for him so eating is easy.
    Although, maybe he was shedding?
    Do you see a droopy jaw when you look at him?
    Does he miss his flies when he is eating?
