    Why don't you just give the babies away? keep the parents and give the babies, i'm sure that someone here in the forum would accept them

    P.S. JimO i love your azureus they're simply awesome

    If kept under optimal conditions there is nothing next to culling all found eggs that will work unless you have all the frogs of the same sex which in some cases they will not tolerate that well. If anything I would leave the eggs in the viv and let them do their own thing. It will atleast slow production and there are always people looking for dartfrogs, I never had trouble getting rid of my offspring.

    You may be right, but why sacrifice the lives of the poor things? if she doesn't want the offspring then is better to give or sell them than killing them, in that case should keep just one frog

    Im not saying to but there are those who are not equipped or advanced enough to care for them or even mantain them until they can pass them on. I would rather see the eggs destroyed than for tads or froglets to suffer. If you truely want a nice dart viv and dont want to bother with offspring this is the only answer I really have. Cull the eggs or find a local to come pick them up when they show up.

    I totally agree that is better kill them than let them suffer but there are always alternatives and as you can see this is a forum with many members from USA and probably there is someone that lives near her and can buy/receive the babies (babies isn't the right word but i don't remember which word is) and i've read that the babies don't require much care.

    I think that sacrificing them should be a last resource measure

    trust me if she wants to find people in her area I can send them to her. I know many froggers all over. Culling is just the responcible thing to do if your unsure.

    my opinion is that it is the most human thing to do, and if i had the means i'd take them myself

    P.S. what frog is it in your avatar??
