one of my gold that has lump next to her eye. was spitting up like slime or snot or something and it looked like there was dirt all over the spit. and the 2 golds that are larger they both look very bloated to! what is going on with my frogs. some one please help

If all animals are affected I would suspect a problem with husbandry. Either way, a vet visit seems like a good idea.

what does "suspect something wrong with husbandry" mean?

husbandry to me means how the frogs are set up and cared for,especially how well they are kept clean.

I suggest you take them to a vet. Bloating could be a sign of poisoning (e.g. from soap), or infection. Mucous from the mouth, and a bump on the eye could also mean some sort of infection. These animals are probably wild-caught, so the probability is high that they carry some sort of infection.

A "husbandary" is the place where husbands are raised in large numbers, and a "wifery" is the place where wives are raised in large numbers. (lol)

pretty funny on the husbandry and wifery

Two reasons why I suggested that the care be improved.
1) All frogs are affected, and bloating frogs is often a result of a cleanliness issue and or a pH/osmality issue.
2) 80% of all medical problems in herps are husbandry related

A herp vet to treat your frogs, and research via here, books and members of your local herp society to fix any husbandry issues.

well i found out what is up with my frog... there reallynot bloated they just look like that because they are eating verywell... and also its is just how they are sitting itlooks like there bloated... and my orangish one has been shedding a lot it is because of the water conditioner that i am using that promotes slime coat.... so i have took action and going to get a different conditioner and also i taking them to a vet too.
