Hello! I have a question about Mini mum. How many fingers do they have? I can only really see 1 in photos. I know pumpkin toadlets, another miniaturized species, have barely any fingers as well

Depends what you call a finger, really. Three-ish? But osteologically, all four fingers are present, just not well defined.

This is an adult frog. We just published its formal description. It is now officially called Mini mum. 

There are two other members of its genus: Mini scule and Mini ature. 

I am not kidding. Those are their actual names.

You can read a bit more about them here.

Is this how you scicomm?
