    Hi, are you sure they are eggs and not a spherical fungi? Using a needle try to manipulate one and see what happens .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    If it will be Fungi, what should be happen in touching it with needle? Its cannot be Springtail or woodlice eggs?

    As soon as I saw the picture I instantly thought mites. If you look closely you can see legs and if they're moving then that makes me pretty certain they're mites. I got mites I'm my fruit fly culture and they look exactly like them. No need to worry though as I don't think these will have any negative effects on your frogs. I think this species is a detritus feeder and helps break down organic waste.
