I had raised all three D. azureus seperatley until they were about 8 months old in small 2.5 gal planted terrariums. I'm, sure they were all getting adequate food, I fed them heavily on termites, ff's and ants. As the three developed, one frog grew to be very large and very fat actually- almost cow-like...that one seems to be a female, the normal sized male is somewhat smaller, while the runt is 1/3 of his size.
I think this guy was just underdeveloped as a tadpole or larvae, the female seems to have chosen the larger male...naturally  I've been witnessing early forms of courtship behaviour. (the frogs are about a year old)
Should I take him out or leave him in this vivarium? He seems to be content...wouldn't want to stress him out.
