    In fact, I am serious. Not to say that using hormones is particularly healthy for the frogs, but the risk to them is much lower than a person trying to induce their frogs to mate by cycling them. Even in their natural habitat not that many will survive through to the next year, part of the reason why they produce such large numbers of offspring. It's one of the reasons captive frogs tend to live much longer lives than their wild relatives too.

    I must say this.
    Both methods can be deadly, it's pointless to discuss. By any means if done properly cycling is mimicking natural frog cycles in a wild, it's safe and natural for a frog IF done by experienced breeder or keeper. Let me point out the IF!

    there is nothing natural or healthy in using hormones, and breeders who care only about money and producing as many frogs as fast as possible, use hormones, after a few breeding you will see "proven breeders" for sale.
    For them it is business, and frankly I have no respect for people, who value $ vs wellbeing of animals.
    In animal conservation facilities use of hormones is justified, but it's completely different category.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
