Breeding is tough. One of the hardest things to do with captive animals. Depends on the animal, really.

What are you trying to culture?

If it's crickets or any kind of bug, you're not the only one by a long shot I've had so many batches of crickets, at least 20 by now, often buying large ones in an attempt to breed them. Not one successful attempt yet.

If it's frogs, you're not the only one either. Lots of people have failed attempts at breeding frogs. When I owned 2 dwarf hamsters, I tried breeding them, but it ended in a colossal failure. The father ate the babies once they were born. Part of the reason I own frogs now, not dwarf hamsters. Frogs are much more interesting, anyways, and you don't have to 'play' or let frogs out to run around in a large tub or room for a while.

Hi Murray.

Breeding and culturing insects and frogs takes some learning and experience. Reading other posts and articles helps a bunch. The best thing to do is to read through posts and articles to learn as much as you can before trying it.

This applies to the care of the insects and animals also, meaning temperature of their homes, humidity of their homes (the amount of moisture in the air due to misting or spraying their homes), healthy food choices for them, healthy supplements, proper and clean water, and the substrate and set up of their homes.

We always appreciate advice, but you must first learn all of the proper care before sharing advice. Just like the rest of us here...we all had to learn in the beginning. Once you have good knowledge of the questions our friends here are asking for, then you will be ready to answer. Read lots. There are some very smart people here that have been talking care of all kinds of frogs for years. You'll learn a lot. Then you can share the information too .

Heather is definitely right. I've learned so much since I first had Gnag and Bumpy. I had preliminary knowledge on frogs before I got Gnag and Bumpy, but now, I know way more than I did when I first got them. Reading a lot , researching a lot, and learning from experts is the key to success. But in my opinion, the latter of the three is the one that is most important. And now that I know what I do, and I know that it is correct because it is experts that have taught me, I can share that knowledge.

thanks everyone!!!i have now passed attempts my golden sailfin mollies are now growing and my black molly also got babies! yey and also i have some more TADPOLES!!!!!!!!!

Tadpoles? Nice! I'm planning on raising some Red Legged frog tadpoles soon, and releasing them back into the wild when they are froglets. That way, I'll have both helped decrease the invasive bullfrog population in a humane way, and helped increase the natural frog population
