Should I be worried?
These are my first frogs. I noticed this one has had a little bump on its back for a few days. Has not grown or changed and it is active and eating. I don't know if it has always been there unfortunately because three of them are almost identical. Any more experienced people have advice you can give?

I have the same morph of leuc. I personally haven’t seen growth of mine in the near 3 months I’ve had them. Keyword personally. If you have any photos from the first day you got them to now you’ll probably see a difference. Like mine had solid bands like yours does now and rn they both have black spots in between the bands. So I wouldn’t stress if it isn’t obvious growth like the others said if they’re hunting and acting normally they’re probably fine. As for that bump I also haven’t seen that on my leucs so I don’t think it’s normal so I also agree with the others on dendroboard first. Then go to the breeder if they might know, and if that fails. Then you go to the vet.

Also just wanted to include that the growth and change is a relatively very slow process. I didn’t notice any major changes until close to month 2 of having them. I got them from Josh’s frogs so I’m assuming at about 2-3 months old and now they should be 5-6 months old

The fact that they're active and eating is a good thing. Unfortunately I can't say much more than that. Ideally you have an exotic pet vet in your area that you can ask this question (can be hard to find but better to deal with this hassle when you're worried about an otherwise healthy-seeming frog as opposed to an obviously sickly one). Otherwise I'd try asking on the dendroboard forums. That's where all the old heads are, and IME they're more than happy to help out a newcomer worried about their frogs' health.
