    Red face Newbie here

    I have loved frogs all my life, and coming from a girl, this was kind of hard on my mom, but she put up with it thinking I would eventually outgrow the frogs and horses, well, I never have. With a body that hurts all the time because of my CRPS , a medical diagnoses, I don't get out and ride very much because it causes me so much discomfort, so I went back to frog collecting and actively making their vivariums as much a good home for them and pleasing for all who see them. I have several tanks to experiment and play with so that is a good thing. I have adult Vietnamese Mossies and I am trying to get them to breed. Tank is good, humidity and temp is good, the males call every evening, often calling all night long, but I have never caught them in amplex, so I am hoping for some suggestions to get the ladies in the mood. I enjoy building my vivarium for the frogs and I do my best with what I have or can get, and I will share photos and ask for your help later on. As you can tell I have several dart frogs and am always on the lookout for something new or just a want. To me, listening to my Mossies gently calling to his lady is so sweet, I often go to sleep while listening to them. Well, this is a little about me, now for me to start an album and share with you guys.

    Hello and welcome to FF Jaydee ! I'm very sorry for you not being able to ride and the pain . Think if you search forum might find more info on Mossies; although not sure if dealing with breeding. I remember an European member posted some info and great photos a couple years back. What Dart frogs are you keeping?

    Carlos, I adore my Mossies, they are such sweet frog and I love their calls. As far as darts go, I have 4 Azureus, 2 yellow splash backs, 2 coastarican blue and green, and a pair of Santa Isabelas. I want more, just not sure which ones to get! I love the ones with loud calls...any suggestions?

    Not sure which ones have the loudest calls. Guess you could visit AmphibiaWeb or do searches for calls and compare them. On the Mossies, here is an older thread dealing with reproduction: http://www.frogforum.net/tree-frogs/...ossy-frog.html.
