Are the frogs hard to keep?  I've never heard of that type of frog - glad they're settling in though

Not too hard, just have to keep the environment warm and humid. They are called Fire Bellied Toads, but are actually frogs.

They are tucking in well to flies and bean weevils, they are so small they still might not make it. My step-dad lost two of his babies he kept. The journey down doesn't seem to have done them any harm. They are quite dark coloured at the moment, but get lovely bright red bellies as they grow.

Heres some pics! First one is with my hand for size reference, the frog is sat on the leaves in the middle of the pic

Glad you are enjoying your tiny frogs. Please do show us the pictures as they grow and their colours evolve.

It's a 4.8lbs loss for me this week thanks Fred.

3.4lbs GAIN for me this week. I haven't managed a lot of exercise this week.

I've noticed two of the frogs haven't developed properly (they are so tiny and hide away I've not spotted them before.)

One has just a single one stubby arm, I've named him Nepoleon Bonafrog, and one has no arms at all. I've named him Rasputin the Mad Frog.

They are eating well and hopping around so I think they will be okay, as long as they keep eating well.

STS.  Very frustrating.  Tried to cut calories and the exercise was also just the same again!  Have watched the highlights of the Tour De France 2021 so far, so at least that is a nice change.

Thanks.

Apologies for the delay in the chart - I've been working silly hours this week to meet a deadline.

Here's this weeks chart:


Congrats to our SoTW and SoTM efrieze - keep going everyone

4lbs loss for me this week. Its like 2 steps forward one step back!

Napoleon Bonafrog has been doing okay, getting a fair share of food. But I think Rasputin was struggling with the bigger frogs taking all the juicest pickings, he was looking extremely thin so I have isolated him in a small tub and dumped a load of flies in, hoping he can just snap some as they pass by his nose & regain his strength. Time will tell if he'll improve enough to fend for himself in the main tank.

Here's a pic of Genghis (the biggest frog) showing off his orange starting to develop...

As long as it's that way round and not the other way round, you are making progress!

It's -4.6lbs loss for me this week. I walked more steps last week than I have ever before (150k) and had 1,300 active minutes according to my fitbit which equates to an average of 3 hours a day of walking.

True! Slow progress is still progress!!
