I just noticed last night that there was some fresh blood on the hind legs of one of my firebellied toads. (photo below)

I checked over the cage carefully and couldn't see any blood anywhere or anything he could've cut himself on. Recently he's changed color and developed this greyish stuff on his face near his mouth and eyes. Is this some kind of fungus or something?(photo below)

And now this with the blood on the hind legs. One leg is worse than the other, but they both look "scraped." The other firebelly in his tank is fine. Set up is fine - 50% water to 50% land enclosure, water temp is 76 degrees and so is air temp. They have live plants (safe ones) and are fed calcium dusted crickets. Also, neither toad has been eating very well lately. Any idea what is going on with my toads? Fungus? Stress? Illness? I'm puzzled.

Thanks,
Veronica

I'm definetly no pro but from those pictures I would say the wounds appear to be healing like normal. I;ve seen some frogs regenerate from some pretty nasty wounds and those do not look infected to me. Generally while a frog is injured they dont tend to eat much.

Possible guesses on how the injury occured, do you have two males? did they both go for the same food item. My firebellys always wrestled over the same cricket biting each other rolling around pushing shoving cause they both refused to let go.

If you have 2 males they could be fighting or trying to mate with each other which firebellys will mate with just about anything. just keep an eye on them.
