Hi
The first page on breeding does have a paragraph about how to induce breeding =)

I have never heard of surgeries on the frog's sex organs but who knows!

A way to help ensure healthy froglets is
1) have healthy, fully mature adults. You want your frogs at least 16-18 months old. They can breed before that, but it is for their health that you wait.
2) be prepared before you start breeding. have all the food ground up in the mortar, the breeding tank set up and have contacts with lots of the nearby pet stores to see if they will take in your stock. You will be lucky to get $1 per frog in store credit but its better than being over run with frogs and having to over stock tanks. Also, a healthy female can have over 2000 eggs. Even if only 50% manage to make it to the froglet stage, that is over 1000 froglets you will be responsible for. It is not an easy task and you should probably cull most of the eggs for the first few breedings so you don't get over whelmed.
3) give females lots of time off in between breedings. A female should not be bred more than 3-4 times a year. It takes a lot of energy out of the females body to make that many eggs and over breeding means a potentially fatally ill female, and weak eggs which will lead to frogs more likely to be runts, deformed, or ill.
4) make sure you do not inbreed. if your frogs came from the same region at the same time (even different pet stores but with in a narrow time frame) you can risk inbreeding as there are not a lot of ACF suppliers and the stock probably distributes to multiple sites in an area.
5) patience =)
6) treat the adults like kings. Reptomin sticks and earthworms are the best possible diet.


Some people breed guppies at home to feed the ACF. But use these only as treats and only if you raise them yourself. The are not a nutritionally complete diet.
