    Do a search on the topic within the forum, you will see it is strongly recommended that you do not attempt this. It is not healthy for your frogs, and takes a lot of expertise. If you need to ask that kind of advice here, you aren't ready for the undertaking.

    Next, I highly doubt that any commercial breeder, they will be the only ones with first hand knowledge, will give you information on how they breed their frogs.

    Lastly, have you taken into consideration all the logistics of raising, caring for, and selling potentially thousands of baby frogs?

    Either follow the natural weather cycles of their native environments using sophisticated equipment to closely maintain temp, humidity, barometric pressure, etc., or use hormones. The proper dosing of hormones will be a strongly guarded secret by any breeder. Neither method is healthy for the frog.

    Someone else asked this question last week I think and this what was told to him from people that are very experienced with pacmans and have owned them for years. This can be very harmfull and dangerous to your frogs health if not done 100% correct. This is why there is not alot of horned frog breeders out there. To be honest if you are not a pro at this frogging thing and have to ask these questions please do not try this because you or the person doing it is just going to hurt the frogs

    Frogs naturally reproduce in the wild, their bodies will produce the necessary hormones based on environmental factors, but those factors are not healthy for the longevity and wellbeing of the frogs. Some people have figured out the hormone levels that stimulate the frogs into breeding, and dose them so they don't need to go through a weather cycle.

    So yes, you can breed them without using hormones, but it takes a very diligent effort to match their yearlong natural weather cycle. But it's not healthy for your frogs, and is likely fatal if not done precisely.

    Yes, it can still be dangerous if you don't REALLY know what you're doing. And if you're asking these questions it means you don't.

    No type of pacman frog is going to be easy to breed. Besides, you shouldn't breed any frogs 'for fun'. You need to have a plan for how you're going to raise and care for the offspring.

    The way you're talking you still sound like you're thinking about trying to breed pacman frogs. I strongly recommend against this. From the questions you're asking, I doubt you have the experience and knowledge to do this in a way that's safe for the frogs.

    The easiest frog to breed is going to be whatever ones live naturally in your area. You would simply have to keep a piece of property in a state of good natural habitat for the species and they will do it all on their own.
