Default CR green and black F2s

Just thought I'd share a couple pictures of my trio of auratus. I've got two good looking plump frogs and one that has been skinnier it's whole life. It doesn't quite go after the food like the other two.
Sorry if the pics don't work, this is a first try from the app.

Pretty frogs!

Does the smaller one have tiny little front legs? Kind of looks like it in the picture. Is he able to hold himself up well and move around well?

Yeah he moves around really well but his legs are quite a bit smaller than the other two. His body is smaller and is quite a bit skinnier as you can see but he moves around really well. I'm trying to feed them more to see if he'll bulk up.

Nice frogs man!
If he is moving around really well, is he moving around his front legs easily, or does it look like he is trying to keep weight off of them?

Thanks!
He uses his front legs pretty well. I can't tell any difference between him and the other two anyways. Im pretty sure he is a male too cause him and another one are about a 1/4" shorter than the big one (female is my guess). They are about 10 months OOW.
Thoughts?

Good eye Kris. It looks like it may have spindly leg, need a closer pic to tell.

He's skinny, doesn't attack the flies like his mates do.

He is thin, and looks malnourished. The pics still are not good as far as his stance. Some SL frogs can have minimal use of the legs with a very limited range of motion. This will leave them chronically thin as they typically cannot catch as much food. You may try housing him separate and see if you can get him to improve at all.

Thanks for the advise. I housed him on his own for a bit but since I'm going out of town for a few days I put him back in the big viv. He didn't eat that well in the temp viv either but was very active, trying to escape. We'll see how he does over the next few days while I'm gone. I hope he makes it alright until I can get back and watch him more closely.
