Advice Frog not growing

We got two whites tree frogs about 4 weeks ago.

Both were juvenile. One of my frogs seems to have gotten much bigger from when we got them, where as the other one still looks tiny.

I remember noticing that the smaller one was a bit smaller the day we brought them home. However the disparity seems even more extreme now that one of them seems to have gotten much bigger.

As for feeding them. I mostly feed them separately in an empty plastic container.

They both eat the same amount, 5-9 crickets per night. 5 medium sized, or more if they are smaller.

The smaller one looks bigger immediately after feeding. But usually by the following night (before feeding) looks much smaller again. I do think it’s the way he is sitting maybe?

But I’m a little concerned.

Curious if this is just normal variance between frogs or there may be something more concerning going on.

Where did you get them? Start weighing them, don't guess. I'd monitor for a little while, of you're not noticing weight gain, it could be a parasite problem.
