    Unhappy Little Grey Tree Frog not growing!

    As some of you know May 24 weekend we found a baby grey tree frog. Well its been 2months and it hasnt grown much in length if any. it is very active and agressive eater and I even recently upped its food. I ran out of calcium for a couple weeks a few weeks ago though =(.

    The guy at the reptile store said in 2 months it should be almost doubled.

    Any opinions help plz!

    its probaby just about an inch.

    As long as he/she is eating and you are finding droppings, I would not be worried. If your seeing a weight loss then I would become concerned.
    Just keep giving it a healthy diet, the calcium supplement, and gut load your crickets.

    Both my forgs have a strict diet of crickets and yes I feed the crickets everyother day carrots, lettuce or fish flakes, I rotate cricket food. But as I said I ran out of calcium for a few weeks but no changes were seen in activity or feeding in that time.

    What about what the Reptile person said ... should there be a significant growth difference in the past 2 months?

    I have 4 Whites Tree frogs that were very similar in size when purchased. Now I have two large, one slightly smaller, and the one we call Spidy is more of the runt. All eat amazingly well, and some are just lazy when it comes to activity than others.

    When we first got them, the runt stayed small as we watched the others get bigger, and then all of a sudden the runt had several growth spurts. Very healthy, crazy active at night, and the only frog that won't hand feed. He is still the smallest of the group, but definitely provides more entertainment than the others.
