Anyone know what may cause a small lump on a whites tree frog? It's soft to the touch, it developed just the other day. When the frog is brown, the lump is always green. The frog is eating normally, and doesn't seem to be behaving oddly.

Small lump on Whites Tree Frog?

Very strange. These frogs always keep us on our toes don't they? If the frog is acting normal and eating good, I would say don't worry about it. If anything else changes, then I would be worried. One of my frogs got a bunch of green spots for a week or two and then they went away, he's fine. Good luck!

Re: Small lump on Whites Tree Frog?
That's not just a "green spot" though, it's a lump, and not in a spot you would expect it to be if it were a swallowed insect. Hopefully this is something that will resolve on it's own, but if it gets larger or starts to effect him adversely you're looking at a visit to the vet. I hope he'll be ok!

I know it's not a green spot, it's a lump. I was just using that as an example that these things can resolve themselves.Originally Posted by irThumper

I was reading online that sometimes those bumps can host worms so be aware of this if things get worse. I hope this is not the case. Good luck

Re: Small lump on Whites Tree Frog?
Hopefully it is not worms.. when I get time I am going to do a complete breakdown and cleaning of the enclosure. I've been spot cleaning feces but maybe I need to just start the terrarium over..
Re: Small lump on Whites Tree Frog?
Considering that you might want to go ahead and put him in a simple QT tank set up (paper towels, minimal decor) to observe him, since you'll need to move him to do a full breakdown anyway.

Happy clean tank equals happy frog!

Re: Small lump on Whites Tree Frog?
Well, the tank is clean really. I remove feces daily.. it's planted, I don't think a dirty tank is the cause here. I really do not know what caused this lump really. The other frog is perfectly fine, I just removed the driftwood from the tank not even a month ago and cleaned it with boiling hot water. It's a 57 gallon tank with only two frogs in it, so they have ample room. So I'm a kind of at a loss as to what caused this.
