Hello,

I bought 2 african dwarf frogs last week as well. Since then I have cought both males (and I am 100% sure they are both males) in the exact same "mating" embrace as you on 2 separate occasions. I know that for a male and female it is a stage called amplexus, but I have searched everywhere and I cannot find anything on what is going on when 2 males do that. I'm glad to hear that other males are doing that though, so I guess its normal??

I know that probably doesn't help you, but at least your not the only one!!

I'm new to the frog forum, and I need help, I have 2 African Dwarf frogs that I've had for about a year now, they are both males because they both have little bumps behind their arms.

I found some information online, and it says that the male will usually sing or hum to the female, and the one darker colored one is always the one that sings and then immediately wraps it's arms around the other male. (The lighter colored one)

I have no clue what to do or what is happening, but I think that maybe they are mating??

Please help!
