I apologize in advance for how the photos came out. -_-
So today, I went and picked up a new 20 gallon critter cage for my white's tree frogs, which meant their old 12x12x18 cage was going to be empty. The LPS guy saved three tiny tree frogs for me to put in the WTF's old cage. One of them seems to have a gimp leg (as you'll see in photos), but that doesn't seem to interfere with his hopping, climbing, or eating fortunately.
First, the new WTF set up:
And now, the new guys! These were the clearest pictures I could get of them. -_- I'll try to get some better ones of them in their new habitat once they settle in.
Poor guy's weird leg:
Another shot of his leg:
Is there anything I can do about his leg? It really is bending really, really oddly. But, I love him anyway. He's adorable, as are the rest of them. Two are the dark olive with a white stripe on their sides, and the other is a regular green one.
contgratulations on your frogs. Sad to see the gimpy one. Hope he thrives.
Hi artes, congratulations they are very cute.
Sometimes frogs can adjust to a deformity they may have. I would suggest just making sure the enclosure is safe and caters for your frogs special needs. Also try to make sure he/she is getting its fair share of food.
He's definitely getting his share of food - and more. He's the same age as the other two (all came from the same breeder, and I think are siblings), and double their size. I joked I was going to cut down some Popsicle sticks and make him a splint thing, lol. He's currently dangling from a leaf of the ponytail palm I gave them to climb. Maybe he's pretending like he's Tarzan?
Ha ha..Sounds like everything is going well. Good job.
I took on two deformed frogs last year . Philomenia & Inshallah, Young Deformed Southern Bells
They are doing extremely well also.
They're adorable! I would have had to take them in too.
Ha ha..I think so too .
I was just wondering..Does your frog have any movement in the leg/toes?
He can move his leg, it just sometimes flails out weird. I have no idea on his toes though - I can go tickle them and find out! /evil grin
Here is a clearer picture of his leg:
Aww..so cute. Apart from the leg, your frog looks in good condition to me.
Awww he is cute even with his deformity. I have a cat with nerve damage in a leg, she does just fine and has adjusted. I'm sure he will too, if he hasn't already.
Awe what a sweety pie! Congrats on your new froggies, and I LOVE the one with the deformity. I really think stuff like that, if manageable of course, can give a frog character.
You better pick out an extra special name.
How does he climb with it like that? I would LOVE to see a video. O:

I don't have a video, but I do have a series of somewhat blurry photos that show him climbing. I'll go load them up.
I am that brown blur about halfway up the picture. I jumped from the ground to this spot because I am awesome.
Now I am a bit lower in the picture, but just so Mom could get a picture of my brother/sister too. You can see my silly leg propped up on the glass.
I'm pulling myself up using the leaves! I love this ponytail palm that Mom gave us. Its like a playground of fun!
Just a little higher!
I'm on the background! Victory for me! You can tell how high I am since I am now next to my sibling!
