How to tell if your Tree frog is overweight?
My gray tree frog, Willow, is a voracious eater, she loves food. I have been limiting her at 2-3 small crickets a day, but am still feeding her daily as she is a juvenile yet. Paddy and Silvermist both eat the same amount, they are bigger than her, but not fat looking like Willow is. How do I tell if she is overweight? What do I do about it? She is definitely the laziest of all my frogs, but I wonder if that's just because she's getting fat. I don't believe it is bloating, though I did at first, she's been like this since I got her a month ago, and she eats and poops like all the others.
Silvermist is on the Right, Willow is on the Left

She looks a little on the heavy side, but not too bad. No worries at this point.

Okay, good to know, I'll keep doing what I'm doing then!! She was on b. dubias before I got her, I have no idea how much he was feeding her! She still have some growing left to do if she's going to get as big as Paddy though!

Whew! I just got on the forum to ask this very question, but thought I'd check for previous threads on the subject. I have some froggies that are starting to look like Willow and I was getting concerned. It sounds like they are okay for now.
