Chomper - C. cranwelli

Out of curiosity: Red leg disease or is it normal that they have slightly pinkier legs? (There was a time when his belly was a dark pink too and the legs were red, our reptile vet said that he's so small that giving him any treatment would end badly so we just kept him in clean and calm enviroment and it got a lot better now... he's a little fighter, thinking about calling him Chuck ). Also, he was on his back for exaclty five seconds to get these done, I know you shouldn't put them like these but he wouldn't sit still otherwise.

Hi, your good I'm pretty sure that's just irritation from the substrate or from burrowing down to the glass if he goes that far down. Babies are pretty active and not being the furthest and highest jumpers they tend to rub against the ground a little more then a good strong jumping frog. All 4 of mine will sometimes have pinkish legs from time to time from doing the things I have listed above.

Thank you! I'm so glad it's nothing dangerous... And yes, most of the time he'll burrow himself a deep hole and will sit on the glass.

I usually tong train with wax worms, because most reptiles will jump on them pretty hard. If that doesn't work you can just get them used to tongs by consistently using them to handle the frog's food. The ones I've had seem to start recognizing them as being related to food pretty quickly.

That's exactly what I did, every feeding I would drop the worms in front of him using tongs and now he eats like a champ and will chase the tongs around his tub! Both his legs and his appettite got a lot better last motnh so I'm really glad and proud of him, he's a little fighter!
