Hi all,

new here and this is my first post.

I have a couple of whites tree frogs which i accidently bred, apparently they liked the new tank i built quite a bit lol.

they laid the eggs and i have had 80-100 tadpoles that have survived as the water quality was not set up for them to breed in.

they are about to start popping out legs i believe and i have a buyer for them.

my questions are.......

what food would you suggest for the froglets, just curly wing flies and pinheads?

how much should i sell them for? obviously the shop will want them as cheep as poss but i want to get a fair price.

thanks in advance for your comments/advice

sorry this isnt related to the questian its just that i want to breed mine and for some reason they wont so i was wonderin if u did anything diferently e.g sprayed them less, fed them less b4 breeding and how deep is your water dish or do you have like a corner sectioned off for a small pond
cheers

Hi there,

My tank is custom built by me, its 4ft widex 4ft tallx 2ft deep.

The bottom of the tank is completely water about 1ft deep.

I have a thermastat controlling the temp during the day and a humidity regulator and tropical rain system to ensure its wet enough.

As for feeding i have 2 frogs which get to eat whatever the lizards dont ( i make sure there is plenty to go round)

The tank is white and i have the lights set to a 12 hour day night shift from 10-10.

My old tank was about the same size but black with more spot lights and no rain system or thermastat and a washing up bowl as a pond. they did not breed in this.

in conclusion i think a combination of extra water, a lighter brighter enviroment and better humidity controll has got them feeling more fruity.

i built the tank as we had a depressed water dragon and even she is a lot happier now, the other lizards also enjoy the water more.

The water also has a large pump and heater to keep it clean and i originally planned to but it tropical fish as decoration and so the lizards/frogs could go "fishing" if they wanted. But instead i seem to of got tadpoles lol.

hope this helps

cheers thanks i wil design there cage differently with more water to see if this makes a difference but all the other stuff is prety much the same
thanks for your help

You'll need to start them off on Hydei fruitflies & small crickets when they come out of the water and have absorbed their tails, and then move on to Curly Flies etc as they grow. Make sure you get a good amount of supplements into them right from the start. Keep the babies in small groups in small tanks rather than a big group in a big tank and they will feed better and grow better.

Thanks for the food advice, duly noted and taken onboard, i may have trouble sperating the frogs though as i dont really have another setup for them to go into, if it looks like its getting out of controll i will have to invest in more equiment.

with regards tank piccys, im not sure how to get them on here so if anyone could explain i will get some posted.

oh and im in essex if anyone wants some frogs

thanks

ooh your in colchester! im in ipswich how much u doing the froggys each?

i have no idea if im honest, this was totally not planned.

im waiting for them to turn into frogs to check they are growing ok and have no issues then i guess im open to offers, i paid £15 each for the parents but honestly have no idea what to charge for little'uns.

when they have developed more i will put a new post up advertising them as ready to sell and we can go from there.

thanks for the interest

Do you have any probs with teh water being a foot deep? I was told taht it shuldn't be any deeper that the frogs height. Not criticising your tank as it sounds amazing! Am asking coz I like the idea of the water at the bottom
