I have 4 Southern Bells and a Green and Golden Bell in two terrariums, but I'm a little concerned about the Green & Golden who doesn't seem to be growing half as fast as the Southerns (and that's even taking into consideration the fact that it has been smaller since it was a tadpole).

I'm wondering if there's anything I am doing wrong which could lead to this? Or perhaps they do grow slower. He/she is being fed a little more than the other frogs as well.

Thanks in advance.

Is it eating as much as the southens and what temp do you have it at?

Yes whats approx temp? could just be that the southerns do tolerate and likely grow better at a lower temp.

interesting though if it is eating more and still not keeping up. It will become dinner itself soon

is it swallowing the food or just getting it it into its mouth only to spit it out later? i had a golden bell do that to me at about this time of year and it looked very similar to yours. eventually it slowed right down and died.

It's definitely eating everything, I've been feeding it on it's own and waiting until the food's gone.

Temp varies between night and day a little but usually sits at 18 overnight and 20-22 during the day. Which is probably completely wrong! I should probably up my temperature a few degrees.

Possibly too cold. I try keep golden bells (l. aurea) over 20C, aim for 22-24C. Anything less they seem to get pretty slow.

Southern bells do better at lower temps so that could be why theyre growing faster....

Hmm still not too much lower - I'll up it and see how we go - thanks!
