Breeding Project on Hold

[Paul Rust]

For those that may not know already, I have spent most of the last year creating a breeding project for the critically endangered Agalychnis.moreletii. Recently it was looking very promising as the males were calling regularly and the only female seemed responsive and was full of eggs 2 days ago. To make a long story short, she would not allow him to court her and could not release her eggs and died as a result. She was the only female in the group. A devastating end to a very fun project. I learned a lot about leaf frogs from this regardless the outcome. Back to the drawing board.


I'll miss this girl.

Im so sorry Paul

[Paul Rust]

Thank you...It's not over though, I don't give up easily.

Sorry to hear, and I wish you luck.

[Eel Noob]

Sorry about the loss. How many did you started out with?

[Jace]

Aww, that really sucks. So sorry to hear about that. How are you going to get another female?

[Paul Rust]

Thanks guys,
I think i can find a few more. My first few were WC and may have created a problem as they never did seem real heal healthy. I will go only with CB from now on, my last few males are CB and doing really well.

That's a shame. Michael Burger is selling F1 offspring right now for a very reasonable price, I have a group of 30 coming this week.

Sorry to hear about your female, that's horrible. Better luck on your next try.
