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.

Hopefully thats the case here that its just a runt and nothing im doing is wrong, or that something was wrong when we caught him or her. If Sam is a female will remaining small have any issues if breeding becomes an option? And more importantly if Sam remains small will I be able to put Frodo and Sam in the same terrarium? We can't afford and dont have room for 2 =(. Right now Sam is in a large cricket keeper but that was intended only till she was large enough to join Frodo safely.
Assuming your fingers are not tiny, it's not a baby. It looks like an adult male.

Well my fingers are relatively short. But Sam is so tiny compared to Frodo the one in my avatar pic and Frodo has even grown since that pic was taken. Sam is about the length of Frodos butt to maybe neck if that. Frodo our adult male is probably 1.5 inches approx. and much plumpy. And Sam is maybe an inch. Im afraid hed still try and eat Sam am I over reacting?
imma try and find a ruler incase im off on measurements.
OK I remeasured with a ruler Frodo is just shy of 2 inches, and Sam is almost 1.25 inches.
I wouldn't worry. There's no absolute size requirement for these frogs. Are you sure Frodo is male?
