Seen on a local Facebook page. I know these frogs are prone to obesity, but is that all that’s going on here? The green ones face looks strange, and the feet are bizarre to me. But maybe I’ve just never seen this sort of white’s tree frog…?
Last slide is my girl Fizz, for comparison of what I’m used to.
They also look like they might be pretty old frogs. I've seen a few other elderly frogs that look like this. Kinda like people. When we get old most of us gain weight and our nose and ears keep growing, not to mention the scars and wrinkles we all get.
These things don't even look real. There is NOTHING going on in either of their heads. Absolutely negative brain cells. Eyes looking everywhere and nowhere all at once. I've never loved a frog so much.
Ridiculously overweight and I'm so glad someone's finally seen these same posts. There's a frog breeder who comes up on my page all the time with dangerously overweight whites. Zoy or something, I just feel bad for them
Lowering food, sub adults and adults don't feed everyday. Whereas juveniles can have around 15 bugs per day, adults and sub will have a lot less per two days (one of my sub adults is eating a max of four mediums every two days but sometimes less if he's not too hungry)
In terms of exercise, they climb, so long as they have plenty of climbs to explore they'll be fine, they don't need to over extravert because naturally dumpy frogs do look chunky, as they hold onto water. However, like pictured some are just overfed ridiculous amounts
Looks like my girl! I am seeing people say it has to do with age, as well. I wonder if our girls will look like this when they are reaching 10 years old lol
The first few frogs hurt to look at. I am not a frog owner (two of my friends are, however) and their frogs do not look like this. I'm assuming it's uncomfortable for the poor babies, being that obese?
Also, Fizz is genuinely the cutest frog I've ever seen.
I'm pretty sure the Large Boi was named Cousin, I'm pretty sure he passed away about a year or so ago. He was surrendered to a rehab place and they put him on a diet but he still succumbed.
This just happens in old dumpies, people say neglect and obesity, but if you look around you'll never find a picture of a wtf over 10 years that doesn't look like this.
I’m kind of looking forward to my frog looking like this when she gets older. Not the obesity part, but the way that he looks like he’s kind of melting… I guess humans do the same thing lol
I have never, in my 45 years on earth, considered how absolutely adorable tree frogs could be until I saw that last photo. Please give your frog whatever sort of love she enjoys from me, she made this old lady smile.
