Spots on my tree frog

[Lamb]

Hi!
I've never owned red-eyed treefrogs, but I have seen them in their natural habitat in Belize. Of the multiple individuals that we found, the majority had at least one or two random white dots on their back. From what I've briefly read about Oodinium, it will eventually manifest as multiple small white spots everywhere. The white dots typical of red-eyed treefrog coloration seem to be restricted to the dorsal surface.

The white dots are common on Red Eyes and absoultely nothing to be concered with. They are just normal blemishes and will not affect the frog at all. Some frogs will have more spots then others. Their skin color is usually darker at night probably to blend in with their surroundings. During the day when you wake them or when they are sleeping on the leaves they will be bright green to match the leaves. Sometimes they will darker if they are kept in temps that are too cool. But if they are turing back to a bright color in the morning it is probably not the temp just their night colors. Check your temps and may sure they are being kept within a comfortable temp range. Again, darkening up at night is a normal behavior and part of their blending in process.

Ive had red eyes and am currently working A. moreleti's that all have or have had a couple spots here or there. Its just part of how they mature. The only problem you need to watch for,as the current poster said, are multiple pin-head white or grey dots covering their entire body. Also, if the frog because extremely sluggish or just non-responsive, it can also be a warning sign of something terribly wrong. As far as just not eating alot, Ive noticed that after a really good feed, my frogs will sleep for a day prior to their next feed. So there might be a day or two where the frogs just "sleep in" as it were. Again, if both symptoms appear, then there might be need for concern. But from your picture above, it looks to be nothing more than their natural markings.

Hmmm try a different food type if you can, just to maybe stimulate appetite. Also check the temperature and humidity. If it is too low that could be causing sluggish metabolism. Also if the white spots where a fungal infection, they would have multiplied within 24-48 hours.
