god dammm i dont know much about frogs but maybe shes alittle over weight too many roaches for that girl

looks like those tree frogs havent seen a tree in a long time :wink:
 
just took these two pics for comparison,
the lighter green fatter one is the new female,,the darker leaner one is my 12 y/o male..if hes anything like me he likes a girl with meat on her bones :)

Nice pics sssnakeman! They do look a little on the healthy side :lol: Most of the ones i have seen are definately not that big. You just got lucky i think! :wink:
 
Although I have no experience with frogs, I'd say that the females have obvious large fat deposits and are over weight. I know it's probably better for breeding females to be a little 'chubsy' but I'm sure when you get them on a feeding routine the same as your 'fit' male they should get back to a normal weight.
Plus maybe they never got any room to move around at their previous house? I doubt frogs do all that much moving in general but perhaps you giving them more things to climb in might make a difference?

Oh, they're all totally cute btw. Do you have pics of your setup? I've always wanted frogs but I'm too lazy for aquatic animals. :roll:
 
I think they are cute frogs...festively plump or undernourished...shouldnt matter! :)
 
That's such a more simple set-up than I thought was needed! Naww they're so adorable! :D
How do you regulate humidity?
 
one question....what is the average life span of a green tree frog?
 
Yes they are to fat (the females), a lot of people feed there frogs heaps of pinkies, this is only okay as a treat because they contain too much fat and aren't really a part of the frogs natural prey, crickets are probably the best food to reduce there size a bit. Obese reptiles (and probably frogs) don't tend to live as long as those that are average weight. However I have no evidence this is JMO.
And nice set up you got there, the fish look great.
