His back feet were just a dark brown without any redness as far as I could tell (presumably they are that color from using them to dig his burrows).
    Female. The darkness of the bottom of the feet is normal.

    Neat Keropi is a she! But is that minor redness on her front feet normal?

    Outside of that I think she's healthy.

    You can buy some Melafix and add two drops per 16 ounces of dechlorinated water and bathe the frog in it once per day.

    Sounds great! Will definitely have to hit the lfs and get her a bottle. Glad you guys think she looks healthy as well!

    The redness on the feet can also be caused from digging against the bottom of the tank, especially if she likes to sit in the corners/around the edges where the silicone would create a slightly rough bottom. It's not a problem unless you notice swelling/bleeding/irritation.
