Clumsy, undersized (?) WTF

Okay, I thought you treated one but I may have been mistaken. Honestly, if he's healthy and active, and not getting progressively worse, I would not worry about it. I would just keep an eye on it to make sure it's not getting any worse and start changing things up if it does.

You were right: I treated the other frog and he seems fine and healthy now.

Can I just add regarding UVB tubes vs coil shaped lamps.
Well first of all to get any benefit UVB lamp has to be replaced every 6 months ( or when the effectiveness is gone confirmed by UVB meters) and a frog had to be within a range of emittance.

tubes distribute light more evenly and there is more chance for a frog to get a benefit, while coil shaped lamp emits light in a cone shape and for a frog to get a benefit it has to be inside that cone and as close to a middle as possible. So the chance is even with UVB light present a frog doesn't get any UVB or very little.

It seems your frog is just clumpsy though if he is stunted with MBD deformations not much you can do other then just help him get that food in.

There's a ledge just under the light so hopefully he's gotten some rays since he's been up there a lot. I'm going to be looking for a tube light especially since my old one burned out today.
