 ADF Bloating when at surface?

I have 2 african dwarf frogs. I read that you can feed them every other day or even every 3 days. I usually fed mine a pretty healhty size chunk of frozen bloodworms each every other day. Some days when I didnt feed them I noticed they were at the surface and a little bloated. I have since started feeding them only 3-4 worms a piece and every single day. I havent noticed them doing this anymore..yet. its only been 2 days since.

Could the bloating have been because I was feeding them too much, or maybe not enough? Or could it be a more serious prob I should be concerned about?

If it only happened after the feeding days, it was probably just their bellies full of food and digesting. Nothing to worry about really, cutting down the amount per feeding is good if you want to just stay on the safe side and ensure you’re not overfeeding them. And the floating is perfectly normal, they just like to kind of relax like that while getting some air. They sound happy and healthy to me :)
