    Default Tomato Frog

    Does anyone have any information on the captive breeding of this species? I'm not finding anything specific on the web.

    Thanks?

    Default Re: Tomato Frog

    Tomato frogs belong to a group of frogs called Microhylids, often called nursery frogs as they look after their young. They breed in the rainy season in shallow, often stagnant water and occasionally slow moving water. They lay their eggs in damp soil on the forest bed, usually under damp leaf litter. They then cover the eggs with a type of anti fungal secretion for extra protection and guard the eggs for two days until they hatch. They do not have free swimming tadpoles..... thats all i can find hope it helps try to find out when there breeding season is and the temps and you should be good i suppose putting them in the chamber should work
