    Default American Green Tree Frog leg injury

    Today I noticed that one of my female frogs is not using one of the rear legs to stick to the glass or decoration in the vivarium. When moving she is using it, but than it is leaving it a little bit back when not moving, even when she is on the ground. The only difference from the other leg is that the toe is a little bit bent as you can see in the picture. Yesterday when I cleaned the vivarium, I put the frogs in individual boxes. I'm thinking that when clipping on the top I caught it's leg's toes. I used a box like this with moss at the bottom. ( http://www.reptile-food.ch/out/pictu...nfutternew.jpg ) What can I do to heal it or help him healing it?

    Well, is it obviously causing a problem or distress? It may just be a time issue.

    you have some questions to answer please to help us understand

    housed with any other animal? Or frog? Toad?
    eating?
    pooping?
    hows skin color?
    what is it getting fed?
    size enclosure?
    any problem moving? Hopping, jumping, crawling ect.?
    Water treatment?
    and anything else you might think is significant

    Well, if there is no open wound, would observe frog for any changes in skin coloring around toe area. If there are changes or swelling will probably need a topical antibiotic. For now, do make sure you are giving CA/D3 supplements on it's crickets, so that it has extra calcium for repairing damaged bone tissue. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I checked her yesterday and did not see any open wounds. Yes I dusted the crickets before feeding. Should I dust crickets everytime when feeding here or?
