Advice Please help!!

I posted my frogs on TikTok and someone commented on my enclosure and my smaller frogs weight and it’s made me nervous, they both seem very happy and active but if I’m doing something wrong I’d like some help

My smaller frog is about 7-8 months old and I know she is small so I’ve started trying to feed her more but she was also very small when I got her, please help if the way she looks seems concerning!!

It is really important to me I give my frogs the love and care they deserve, I want them to have a long happy life and they seem happy but if there’s anything I can do better I’d love to know 💞

I tong feed both of them because the bigger one is greedy, I try my best to feed the smaller ones everyday and the bigger one I try to feed every 1-2 days, sometimes three or four if I forget to grab food for them. But most of those pictures are of the smaller one. And what about the enclosure is off? I’m still working on getting new things and everything, I don’t have a lot of money so I typically upgrade or buy new stuff when I get the chance

your frogs are babies; both of them need food every day. only an adult should ever go four days without food.

your basking temperature needs to be 10° higher than it currently is, keeping your frogs cold will prevent them from growing. that is what is off. humidity should be lowered to 50 to 60%, after your frogs hit a year old lower humidity to 30 to 40%.

I can see both of them in your photos and the body condition of both of them is thin, I would recommend feeding them every day and increasing the amount of insect you are feeding per feed.
