They're here!!! - Atelopus hoogmoedi

Congrats Eric....they are really cool. I have found that if you give it a boy name...it will most certainly be a girl. Works for me every time.

I had convinced myself we weren't going to name our frogs anymore, but i was convicned otherwise by Sara and Theo last night.

So as a geeky family, we have named our new trio The Bytes: Mega, Giga, and the female, Tera.

I can't forget my son Theo who held the Atelopus hoogmoedi from their first location to our home. He's a trooper.

Dude, I'm stoked for you. In the short time I had mine, (I lost my other one as well) they grew on me super fast. Really cool frogs, I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted on their progress, I truly hope you get em fully established.

I will. Again, I'm really sorry about your loss. If you want to PM me, I'll invite you to a Facebook group on the Atelopus. You will be able to chat with other hobbyist, and mainly, Corey W, who's the go to person. They can help you figure out what happened.

Update:

So far, so good. The two male frogs are quite bold, and will explore the tank out of stress these days. They sleep on the tallest leaves.

The third one has been confirmed to be a female by Raymond Coderre (stemcellular). Therefore, I'll build a new breeding tank...

You hit the jackpot with that, I've heard the ratios coming in were somewhere around 50 males per female.
