Is this an egg or...

[speedy]

I was emptying out the FBT's water and ran across this little round thing (sorry the pic is bad, my phone takes crummy indoor pics). I thought it looked like it had two micro black dots like eyes, and looks similar to posted pictures here...or is this just really well formed refuse? If it is an egg, I dumped out all but like 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water before I saw it- there is just one...how do I go about caring for it? Also, provided its an egg, does that mean there are more that the frog is going to lay? The one I think is a female is spending most of the time in the water.

If it's not I will feel a bit silly posting frog manure lol...

Hi there
Im thinking that it may be an egg, very wierd though. Did you find only this one?

[speedy]

Yeah, just one which is why I wasn't sure cause I thought they laid like 100 or more at a time. The frog I think is a female went right back in the water so maybe I unknowingly interrupted her laying it since she was behind a plant and hopped away from me. I'm not sure...

No way that's an egg, they never lay only one. Frogs breed externally, so there wouldn't be any "hiding inside". I'm pretty sure its just poo, but if it was just one egg i wouldn't think its healthy.

That is one nice looking piece of poo!

I really don't think it is froggy doo, I have cleaned up lots of that and have never seen any look like that in the water or out. I would rather wait and be sure than throw out a baby... just won't tell anyone I took care of it if it is just a perfect poo! LOL. It looks like the pictures of eggs but it seems to be missing that clear part that surrounds the egg. I did see frogs mating a week ago. Guess I'll keep an eye out for more of these mysterious round shape retaining poos/babies. Do they call only during mating season? Two of mine seem to call every night.
