Red arms???

Red leg, I believe is the proper term. I don’t remember how to treat it. Do you have albinos or regular colored ones? The albinos do show their red veins. If no one else pops on to help you I would suggest pming Hoppy. You can find her mostly on the tree frog forum although sometimes she hops on here.

Good luck!

Red arms???

definately sounds like red leg, if you google it I think you’ll find some treatments, I don’t want to give you any wrong information, but yeah a member like Hoppy would definately be of a lot of help to you.

Red arms???

-Hobbyists can obtain antibiotics from the pet shop such as Maracyn II® and Marcyn Plus® which are used for Bacterial infections. These can be used in conjunction with salt.-

I got this off yahoo for treating red leg, hopefully you have a local petstore that sells something like this.
