    I also want to mention that Golden and Ava get allong really Nice, they are often next to each other, but sometimes my other frog Ava seems to scares Golden or stress her, Golden sometimes stays hiden in the plants instead of hanging on the ground normaly, I red sometimes frogs can be more vunarable to illnesses when they are stressed.
    Thank you

    Okay at the first look;
    setting out tap water may work with some water treatment programs, but some cities use chlorinates that don't gas off. I don't know if this applies to your area but you might want to keep it in mind.

    Ate 7 days ago: Is your frog refusing to eat? That may be a sign of illness. Dumpies tend to want to eat more than they should.
    But, on the other hand, your frog looks very well fed even if she is a little bloated from eggs. Butterworms are very high in fat and calories and feeding them often might be making your frog overweight and making her want to move and eat less.

    I would continue monitoring her legs, looking for anything like broken blood vessels or sores. But her legs in the pictures look normal and pink.

  3. This member thanks elly for this post:

    Hi, thank you.

    If we look carefully, you can see that her leg is half pink but it is also dark red, we don't see it a lot in the picture. Look also the front shot picture, over her two arms you can see the dark red (almost Brown) areas, this is not normal and she never had that (hopefully it desapear a little bit every day).
    I will look for water treatment program.
    she always had little problem with chasing the food or accepting the food offer, but she happen to accept more worms than crickets (she seems to hate them) so I tend to give her more worms, which I know is not the best option.

    is it normal that it is the first time I ever see eggs from her? Is there a link with the redleg?
    thank you very much
