    Question Hi I'm New

    I have 2 African dwarf frogs. I know one is a female and the other is a male. I was wondering if there is a way to tell if they are old enough to breed because the male keeps grabbing the female around the mid waist, then gets dragged everywhere with the female tell he lets go. Then all night and day he makes the mating sounds. But there are never any eggs. Do they eat their eggs? I've only had them about 5 months now. Any suggestion appreciated. Thank You
    P.S. I'm the worlds worst speller.

    Welcome to the forum. It's quite possible the female isn't mature enough to breed or she is not receptive right now. Male frogs enter "breeding mode" a lot more easily than females.

    Thank you everyone, I feel welcome already. Should I separate them or get another female or two for him so he doesn't put a lot of strain on her? I really don't want her to fell stressed or any thing. Out of the two of them, she likes to greet me every morning when I wake up and when I come home from work. She loves to follow my finger around the glass which I think is really cool for a little frog. Everyone I know says they are dumb little creatures, but I have proof they are not. How may aquatic animals will follow you. Mine will. Lol
