    There are several things it could be. Some closeups of the lump areas would help. How often do you clean his tank and what is the ratio of the above foods you feed? Also what temperature do you keep the tank at? And how big is it?

    I am not sure if the vet could help your frog The lumps could be a tumor, bacterial infection or a parasite and the frog appears to be emaciated. Only a vet will know for sure. Unfortunately, few vets are knowledgeable in amphibians.

    Send it to the vet! My Hymenochirus curtipes (western dwarf clawed frog) colony crashed because of a similar problem. They could be tumors or infectious growths caused by bacteria, fungus or even worms. Any one of those conditions could be fatal…look for vets that specialize in reptiles/amphibians in your area.
