Pacman frog tadpoles

[Iratus ranunculus]

Where can you get hormones from i dont wont none but i was wondering where can you get some from

Chemical supply companies. The most successful combination is a form of synthetic leutenizing hormone and a dopamine antagonist in a DMSO carrier. But... to keep people from Trying This At Home I wont say the exact combination (doses, administration methods, which specific stuff you want, which supply company has the best stuff etc)

Thanks for your replies everybody. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get on for 3 days. I really wish your average jo could breed them it would be great to breed them without chemicals.

To be fair:

If someone here wanted to set up a commercial breeding operation (there are certainly people here experienced enough to do it), and had a trained herp vet willing to assist them, I would be happy to tell them the dosage, chemical, and supplier details. Anything that takes pressure from wild populations is a good thing. I just wont do it on a public forum because of ethical concerns. Botched breeding attempts could injure or kill a lot of frogs.

From what I've read the wild population is taking quite hit so if anyone here could breed them that would be awesome. I just wish I could get Pacman frogs in NZ but unfortunately we can only keep 3 species of frogs here. Green and Golden Bell frogs, Southern Bell frogs and Whistling tree frogs (Brown Tree frogs).

Usually when someone is interested in a pac man frog(s) they want baby or adult and they buy them from a pet store or from someone who bought them(it) at a pet store who breed them with hormones. But there is a possibility of breeding them without the hormones. If you want you can look on the internet and there will be an article and maybe some pictures about it. You could even do it your self if you wanted to, you just need the frogs and the supplies needed to breed and you can use no hormones what so ever. Just remember that it may or may not work, the frogs have to want to mate. So if your looking for pic on pac man tadpoles some hobbyists have websites and they'll put pics of the babies on them or just browse on Google and see what you can find.

Wow.....thanks for the shout out Pac!

We have been breeding the pacs (C.cranwelli) for 3 years successfully with NO hormone treatments. We rarely eastivate them due to the risks involved.
Luckily here in South Texas, the rainy season gets them in the mood (too bad we are experiencing a drought right now!!).

We currently have froglets available and will have tadpoles available soon. We had planned on vending at the San Antonio Expo but it looks like it has been canceled for August, so we will be there in November instead.

I know I have been MIA for a while, and I apologize, but life took us on a detour and we are back on track now! Please feel free to ask any questions you like and I will answer if I can!

Thanks!
