    Default Any hints or tips on breeding K Pulchra

    So little info around about breeding these guys, and over here in the UK there are simply NO captive bred ones available.
    I'm beginning to see why... getting info on the process in a nightmare !!!

    I've got them in a chamber at the moment, 1.1, they're in amplexus, for the second time. (First time was for 24hrs, then 8 hrs break at which time the male called virtually continuously throughout until he grasped the female again; typically was through the night so I got VERY little sleep )
    I checked the female last week and couldn't see any eggs, and assume she still isn't ready to spawn.

    Should I remove her back to terrestrial setup, feed her up & hope this will stimulate her to produce eggs ?

    Any info hints or tips much appreciated.

    These frogs like to be placed in a cooling/drier cycle for about 60 days. Then return the temperature and humidity back to normal. When the female gets fatter, place them in a rain chamber with a water depth of about 2 inches (5cm) this will help them get "into the mood". Make sure the frogs are fed well and food is dusted with vitamins and minerals. Good luck
