    Default Breeding Questions

    Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions about breeding fire bellys.

    I have 8 frogs from various different places and this year they have started breeding.

    10 of the tadpoles have made it to mini frog stage and I now have more frog spawn from the adults, so hopefully more on the way.

    My questions are: How soon can I put the mini frogs in with the adults? Will they try to eat them while they are small? And also, will they eventually try to breed with each other and can this cause incest problems in the future?

    Thanks

    I would not add them back in with the adult frogs. Keep them separate and once you can tell Male from female separate them. If you are looking to breed your FBT and sale them you will want to keep only male + female pares together in tanks and keep their offspring sperate from others. Then you can breed the offspring of different parents with each other.

    Yes putting them all together will result in the Parents, kids, and Siblings breeding together and causing incest problems.

    Hello and welcome to FF ! In regards to your second question, myself would not worry much about bad genes showing for at least 6-10 generations of inbreeding, since you started with 8 unrelated frogs.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Ok thanks! Will probably keep the new 10 then and sell any more we get. Not really planning on breeding them, its just something that's happened. Would just like to keep a few more as the vivarium is pretty big, and then let nature take its course, if we end up with some to sell then great, but if not I'm not too bothered
