Breeding horned frogs

[frogmadmeg]

Hi Meg. Sounds like you want to try it natural w/o hormone injections? That would be awesome. The little specifics on the brumation period, where and how to inject etc. You probably will have trouble finding out. Good luck.

To breed them they must go through aestivation/brumation. It is a huge oart of their life cycle. They spend the majority of their life burrowed deep into the earth in a coccoon of shed skin called an epithelial sac. This helps them maintain water and the slow their metabalism way down and live off the stored water and fat during this period of dormancy.

The most important understanding when one chooses to breed Ceratophrys , is, with out doubt, healthy mature animals.
Leave them to the PRO's if you wish, but, by no means allow yourself to fail by in-appempt.

Lol.... I'm not a genius, but wouldn't say I'm dumb either. I had to read your post several times to decipher the meaning Hank...lol

Its better to try and fail than never try at all....got it! Good advice.

to try and fail when it comes to live being i won't say is a good idea, if they brumate improperly they might die. By any means if you want to do it you need to learn TONS and get somebody experienced on board and only then try.
