Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Re: ACF Breeding and Rearing updates
Her laying and being mated every two weeks is not healthy for her. You need to give her time to build up fat and energy stores again between breedings. She may expel eggs on her own but that is not as taxing as having a male latched on to her squeezing out her eggs.
You should really give her several weeks between layings for both her and her offsprings health.

Re: ACF Breeding and Rearing updates
Yeah I know. I'm trying not to over breed her. The first time on April 3rd when they spawned was a complete accident actually. Second time was semi-purposeful on April 19. I was moving her to a new tank to breed a little later on and she started laying and I didn't want the eggs to go to waste, so i just dropped the male in to. Thought him fertilizing the eggs the female had already laid without him was a bit cool too. Also I feed them both high protein pellets to make sure they are nice, fat and healthy.
