Grey sleeps with feet on back

[Piperrenee]

I have two grey tree frogs that were out of a rescue of eggs we found in our swimming pool. The rest were released, but these two were very delayed in becoming froglets late last fall. The bigger of the two has started sleeping with her feet on her back. I didn't know if this was just her being quirky or a sign of a problem. Thanks in advance!!

I answered this, but it must not have gone through!

Anyway, I've never seen this before. It may just be flexibility but I'd be worried about its bones. You need to supplement calcium if you don't already and there are recent studies that suggest UV lights are a little helpful to frogs, even nocturnal ones. Metabolic bone disease is serious and can affect an animal's ability to move so I'd watch and see if your frog's moving normally.
