Strange Gray TF froglet behavior

[jkunz]

Hi All,

First post here. I have a pair of Gray froglets that morphed about 2 weeks ago. I've been feeding with melanogaster, and one is doing quite well. The other, sadly, is looking pretty skinny, doesn't eat as much, and is doing this strange thing where it looks like it is sort of stretching its back/neck and then making big swallowing motions. This happens from time to time even when there's no food in the tank. I've never seen the other one make similar motions. Any ideas?

Thanks,
John

It's hard to say with certainty but I would guess that it has a some kind of developmental problem that makes it difficult for it to feed. I don't think that there's anything you can do for it, I'm afraid.

Thanks for the quick response, John. Shame to hear, but glad to have the input.

not to second guess John, but could it be shedding? Maybe you coud place it in a rubbermaid container with food to monitor his/her reaction to it and see if there is any physical limitations that cause trouble eating.

There's certainly no harm to Chris' suggestion.
