I don't plan on eating them ever again.
guys another question.
how do you tell if a frog is bloated / has edema ?
mine looks terribly fat.. not overnight.. its almost after every feeding session/soaking at night..
- eats well.
- hunts well.
- croaks every now and then.
- never lethargic.
- sleep cycle is good.
but here is how he looks like .. its not something i just discovered.. but i decided to ask anyway..
cheers.

That's a healthy, plump (not very plump) White's Tree Frog. Continue doing what you're doing.

If he were edemic the throat would be bloated. Your frog is just, how put this kindly, fat.
I have 4 white's my older 2 are alot fatter than he is so don't worry it's their build and natural glutonus behavior! He looks healthy i love his colour. Mine are a more mint green/jade colour. Are you sure it's a he? does he ever call loudly and continuously? I ask this because it looks like a female to me lol. Female white's are generally always fatter and have a white throat, males are smaller/thinner and have a dark throat and call very loudly on a nightly basis.
im kinda worried right now..
Ever since i moved them into the new bigger tank, my frog, who usually enjoys eating ALOT, refuse to eat from my tweezers anymore.
and i think he is losing weight.. or maybe im just thinking too much and get worried over nothing?
here he is in the smaller tank..
This is him now..
i personally thinks he's getting "flat" and more flabby with excess skin..
what do you guys think? and how can i tell if he starts to get dangerously thin?
thank you!
He looks perfectly fine. Just give him time to settle in a bit. I would think he should be perfectly ok a week from now.
