I assumed that this was normal, and that maybe they'd breed successfully in a few months. (Note: I am not trying to breed them, they are just pets.) Two weeks later the same thing happened- the female laid eggs for seemingly no reason and the male ignored it. This happened again around two weeks later. And finally, it happened again today. Only this time the frogs are in separate, smaller tanks because the usual one is being cleaned.
I'm starting to get concerned. It doesn't seem healthy for the female to be laying eggs in a continuous cycle like this. Is it because she's albino? Is there something I can do to stop it? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
