Appreciate the feedback. I didn't intend to "half-cycle" them, just got prematurely excited when the males got pads and were calling

Pretty certain that I have three males and one female so that is good. (I really want to post pics but am just confounded on how to do it.) All vet checked and fecals negative. Are you suggesting to cycle them now even though they won't breed until next year? Sort of for practice for both of us?

I can do the gradual changes pretty easily (everything is relative!) by manipulating the lights via the timers and utilizing my warehouse space which stays about 60-65 degrees without heat.

My biggest concern is that we do not have a "rainy season" here in Socal. For all the hype about El Nino, we had TWO days of rain. I am going to have to fake it the best I can with recordings of storms and heavy misting; I know the frogs can tell the difference but I hope that by replicating all the other conditions, they will give me a break on that one.
