I have some very perculiar looking frogs in my pond and I really don't know what it is, despite searching on the web.

They have what looks like big pale-blue-grey bumps on them, some very big, but no redness or bleeding or peeling skin. There's one which looks like he is covered in mutant pale-blue-grey barnacles, but he is just as frisky as the others! Not all of them have it, but with the spawning session going on in the pond with such enthusiasm I can see it will be spread across a much wider group. :(

I'll try to get a picture posted soon.

Any advice would be very helpful as no other disease I can find describes the symptoms the frogs are showing.... thanks.

Maybe the photo will help - probably my description sounds a bit strange..... any ideas anyone? I'm obviously very worried about it.

Thanks

I assume it is some kind of fungal growth?

It would be interesting to hear what froglife comes up with.

I've posted on Alsions website too, but for those of you who haven't seen it, I did contact froglife and they replied to say that they had had a 'flush of emails' about this recently but don't know what it is. They are sending my pictures to the Institute of Zoology to see if they can help work out what it is.....

I have to confess I haven't felt the bumps - I figured the little guy had enough problems without me grabbing him! He's the worst, the rest seem to be less affected or not at all - but as I said before, he seems as happy as Larry, so no obvious ill-effects!

I'll let you know if I hear more......
