ADF with weird lumps on back

[MadameGrenouille]

Hello ohbry

I have some adfs myself and really I never saw something like this before, if you frog eats and acts normal, that's a good sign! How is she doing?

Unfortunately, all animals, like humans, can develop tumors/cysts. But to rule out any other underlying issues please fill out the questions below to give us a better understanding of your ADFs environment.
