It's been almost a month since the last update, so I figure it's time again (not sure if someone reads it though)!
The couple have now lived here for about a month, little more than that. And as far as I can read from them, they are both thriving in their terrarium. They are both active at night, sleeping through the entire day, eating as they should etc etc. The plants have grow even more since then, but I don't have a decent picture of it right now. However, just look at my photo album latest picture and just imaging a lot more plants!
We had to add a second food bowl though, since the female tend to jump right in the bowl and then she justs sits there, eating. Now with two bowls, they can both eat whenever they want, without need to pay attention to what the other frog is doing.
So, now that it's been a while, and the female have got some weight to her, it's time to start the breeding project. We will gradually lower the humidity and not add much moist at all until it reaches a low enough level. After that, it'll be dry season time, with much scares food and much lower humidity, only the waterfall as a water source. After that, we'll start the heavy rain and hope for the best. I already have 6 people here in the vicinity that would like to buy baby red eyes, so I'm hopeful. Just need to find a good recording of other male red eyes calling, to increase the males lust and willingness to party hard! If anyone have a good recording of this, please let me know!
Let me end todays update with three new pictures, one of the male and two of the females. These creatures really are the pinnacle of glorious evolution.
Female:
Male:
And one more thing. I accidentally recorded my male calling (however, it's not a good one, therefore I don't think it'll work as a breeding-enhancer.), so if you want to know how one of their call sounds like, check it out. It's a extremely short (1-2 sec) and bad quality... but still:

EDIT: Changed the picture of the male, since I uploaded the bad picture...
