My pacman frog has red toes.

[GATSBY]

I'm new to thise forum and i really need your help. 😊 My pacman frog is an adult now and she's quite healty. I bought her in an pet expo (pet city philipiines) and she lives in a plastic container with a coco peat as substrate. The problem started when i changed the substrate into aquarium sponges because the substrate isn't well in absorbing water. After a couple of weeks i noticed that her toes are starting to get red both front and at the back but not on the legs. It's hard to know if pacman frog are acting pretty tired because we all know pacman frogs are lazy pets. All i can say is she still eats very well. She eats mice or fresh small market fish. I'll try to show you some pics of her red toes. Any advice would help 😊 Thanks guys happy frog keepin' hahahaha

That is exactly one of the reasons pacman frogs shouldn't be kept on sponges. Switch to more natural substrate, fine coconut fiber would be your best bet

Thank you for the reply. [emoji4] is it possible, that this will cause red legs? If so, how do i treat it? I hope my pacman is alright [emoji20]

I don't think it's anything serious, yet, just irritation. It should go away when you switch to soft substrate. I suggest you watch it if no better within a few days or if getting worse, treatment will be needed. Let me know and good luck!
