Neon Green spots

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.

ah yes thanks for clearing the air.

i was getting a little bit too worried. he's measured 2.8inch tail to tip of the nose and i thought he was a little bit too big for his size.

edema came across my mind too.

thanks again!

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.

hmmm mine should be female i guess.



now ive upgraded to a much bigger tank. croaks more ( if there's some heavy vehicle passing by, or a loud motobike passing by ) and no more green spots to worry about as for now haha

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.
