REDNESS on a leopard frog

anymaaluver Oct 14, 2003 08:54 PM

hi, i have 3 adult leopard frogs, 2 similar looking (im assuming the males) and 1 larger, lighter-colored one with a more irregular spot pattern (im assuming the female). i've just recently noticed that the bottom rear area of the largest one (the "female" is tinged redish-pink, and is a noticeable difference from the others, which i checked after seeing it on her. my question is: what's wrong with her, if anything? her only recent behavioral differences are that she sits apart from the others more now, and isnt as active. is she sick, pregnant, or anything? please email me or respond here with ANY information asap. thanx, and please help!

Research Redleg online. No one can diagnose it through a forum, but, regardless, isolate and quarantine it IMMEDIATELY. Redleg is a non-curable (to the best of my knowledge) but easily-preventable disease. Don't rule out other possibilities, but, Redleg or not, something's wrong with your frog.
