    there is a way to check press on the afflicted area and see if it turns white then back to red . If so it probably is not red leg.More like something else from a irritation to light bacterial infection . I would use and antibiotic cream on them and see if it changes anything.Salt water baths work as well but are a bit harsh on their sensitive skin .When SAM had an irritation ( my large pacman frog )I used a triple antibiotic cream on her underside and it went away .IT was simply that she was burrowing down into the glass bottom of the tank and rubbing herself on the glass trying to get deeper.This caused a skin irritation.My fix for this was simple. shes a large frog so i put in 6 inches or more of cocohusk substrate so she could completely submerge herself without having to go all the way to the glass .She has a hot and cold zone and a nice large water dish and i keep the top of the substrate wet an inch down the rest is only humidified by the reptifogger and humiditsat. Some frogs have alight red hue on the underside all the time , but i would have your vet check this out to be sure you do not have red leg or some other disease .

    Okay just an update with my 5 frogs; they're fine! Took them to the vet today and what seemed to be the problem was stress. The vet reckons because the frog knows there is new frogs around but can't get to them yet is causing stress and possibly "sexual frustration" as she said. So the discolouration is made by the frog to make him stand out more and also because of stress. Thanks all for the help
