I have 4 whites tree frogs. 2 younger ones and 2 mature ones. My older ones are male and female. Before I got my first baby (tiny, my 2 year old named it) wtf, I noticed my female (Toadette...was Toad when I first got her but once she matured some he was a she) wasn't acting normal. She started laying under the moss, or in the log. I figured it was the humidity being too low so I fixed that and it helped. 2 weeks later I got tiny. For the first few days, she laid under the moss or in the log but she eventually climbed back into the tree. 2 weeks later (now) I got another baby frog and she's acting the same way again. Every time I take her out of the tank though she perks right up and she's a happy frog. When she's in the cage she just flattens herself out and lays there. I was thinking maybe she was super stressed out on top of not being able to keep the humidity up in the tank, that was why she was doing this but then she pooped. I didn't think she was eating, but she is. She just pooped while I had her out and it was nothing but worm guts and worm. There were also a couple spots of red, could that possibly be from the worm? Her color now is bright green, she's not making herself flat, she's happy. I'm going to try to get her to eat here soon. I've read a lot of forums, and some say the blood is from a parasite, one said it could be from the bugs. For everything else, I've read it's probably humidity and stress.

I was thinking red leg also. But her under belly and legs have always been red.

She's having a hard time climbing but not hopping.

Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
I included several pictures of the frog. The tank I have now is a 20 gallon long but I am getting a large terrarium soon. All my frogs were bought at petco and are all whites tree frogs, I have 2 mature ones that are about the same size, and 2 babies. The temperature is always between 75-80. I've been misting the cage and I just recently read somewhere to put aluminum foil around of half the lid so I did that and it's helped a little bit with humidity. I'm going to try pillow moss and a smart plant. There are 2 tank mates, and neither were quarantined, I honestly didn't know that until after I put both of them in there. Right now I just have a florescent light, that will be changing soon too. I change the water every night and feed every night before turning their light off, and I clean and change the bedding every 2 weeks. I use spring water to mist my frogs and for their water dish. When I clean it though I use de chlorinator for the final rinse, and I use tetra. I only use half a cap full...the last time I cleaned it though, I accidentally used too much de chlorinator, it came out faster than I was ready for and it over flowed the cap. I use moss for the substrate. The plants are all fake, 2 of the hang and the giant tree has fake bark on the bottom that I cover up with moss. I believe she ate a few days ago, she pooped last night (picture above) and it was nothing but worm guts and worm, and blood mixed in with the guts. I put worms in bowls every night, they're only half an inch maybe an inch long. I've learned that I can't feed just one thing so I'm going to buy bulk fruit flies and crickets offline. They don't get vitamins or anything but I've been looking into that to sprinkle on top of their food. I'm not sure of the age for any of my frogs. When I first out Toadette she was small though so I'm going to assume no more than a year for all 4 of my frogs. I know my small ones aren't very old, they're still babies. I've had this frog since May or June of this year. Since they're from pet Co I'm assuming captive bred. I've been taking Toadette out every day for a few hours because it's the only time she's a happy frog. Other than that it's usually only once a week and I only get my bigger ones out. I don't wear gloves but I wash my hands and arms before and then spray my hands with spring water. The tank is in a low traffic area, I've been thinking about moving them into a different warmer and darker room. They weren't quarantined and haven't had any medicines.

THe frogs are reddish, but only as much as an active frog that has been moving around could be expected to be red. I'm not sure what to say about the blood in the stool. Could just be from the worms (were they night crawlers? superworms might be a bit big or tough to digest), could be an internal injury or parasites. Sometimes frogs stay inactive all day, but to do that frequently may be a sign of illness, plus you said she's having trouble climbing.
If possible you might want to look into a reptile vet that sees frogs.
Today she seems to be doing a little better. I sprayed her this morning and right after she pooped a solid poop and it had no blood. Her color is a lot brighter than what it's been and she seems to be more perky. She moved from the log to under the tree in the moss. She didn't burrow under, like she usually does, she's just laying on top of it. I have a couple caves that should be here in the next couple days to add in, hoping maybe that helps her some. My male (Jumpfree) seems to be adjusting very well to the new frogs.
