I think there's something wrong with my firebellied toads... 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

Just skimming I didn't see anything in particular other than a Chytrid infection of some sort. Good luck!!

No one from the Toad forum has responded in the last few days and I was beginning to lose hope - until you responded! Thanks so much. The syptoms described for "Red-Leg" is exactly what this toad has! It's not from him scraping his legs - it's the reddening of the limbs caused by broken capillaries under the skin!

Thanks again Rob! You're a genius!
