They are both very active sometimes, and very lethargic at others. Sometimes they tuck their arms and legs into their body and float at the surface (this has only happened a very few times), is that normal or are they hurting? The main problem is that one of my frogs' skin looks almost transparent on the bottom. Her bottom side is almost pink and I can see what I assume are bones or veins inside her. She is much lighter than the other one naturally so maybe her skin is just lighter, but I am worried about disease and things of that nature. Is she OK???
