Was offered 3F4M RETFs for $180

[Katieasaur]

Someone offered to make a deal with me and give me a proven breeding group of 7 Red Eyed Tree Frogs (3 females and 4 males) for only $180. And yet I still don't want to spend that much even for so many frogs. I feel like an idiot for passing up the deal though. So if anyone lives near Long Beach and is interested let me know and I'll send you his email.

These frogs are not "hard" to breed. Don't beat yourself up.

[Katieasaur]

idunno I have pretty much the worst luck known to mankind. If anyone cannot do it, it'd be me.. hhahaha

[John]

I just mean that the fact that they are proven doesn't mean that much.

[Katieasaur]

oh ok i get what you mean now

When your frogs are mature enough the boy will start calling up a storm. I had one boy that would do an occasional chirp, but then hit a certain age and became a man. Now I can't shut him up. My girls love him and pretty much ignore the quieter male. You can play red eye recordings to get him in the mood.

[Katieasaur]

oh trust me i cant get him to shut up for anything, him and my male big eye constantly call back and forth, I'm having more of a problem getting my female full of eggs more than anything

If you have a boy who's interested then just cycle the female. Have a dry period with less feeding for the next month or two while its warm, then start misting them more often a feeding a lot. I use cricket bowls and I just put in as many as she'll eat every night. Now I can get mine to do it in their regular tank but I have a pretty large water section if you look at the picture in my photo album. Also remember to use calcium and vitamin supplements through this whole feeding process. When the weather starts to cool here in October time it when its supposed to rain. Put them into a rainchamber or just start misting the heck out of them. Im not home during the day so just me misting really heavy in the morning when I leave and then several times through out the night I can usually get eggs by the second or third day. Now I do have a very eager boy and two girls that don't give him a hard time. My second male doesn't seem to be interested in attending the party. He is the youngest of the group probably around a year. So maybe he just needs more time. Anyway that's what I do and it works pretty easily and I don't even use a rainchamber. My frogs are between two and four years old.

yeah I've had her in containment going through a dry period for about 6 weeks and im going to start feeding her like made again and im going to setup a cheap rainchamber too so I wont break my hand trying to mist them constantly lol
