I know i cant keep away, thats the problem with making some vivs for someone i decided to make some more for me too.
To be honest Nick once they start breeding i found them easier than non egg feeders, just let them get on with it, i always used black film canisters they seemed to prefer them and they hold water better than broms i find. Also used to leave the froglets in with the parents for about a month after they morphed found they had a much better survival, rate, and it didnt affect the parents at all

ok thanks, my female won't use film canisters at all just broms which is a pain, what temp did you have yours at? did you pull the male so they stop breeding so she can look after the tad's or left him in?

No leave the male in there he actually does a lot of the work like transfering tads and telling the female when theyre hungry by sitting by the water pool the tad is in and calling her, thats why i prefer breeding eggfeeders amazing to watch.
I had the frogroom heated to 78 in the day dropping to aroung 74 at night, plus the heat the lights gave
Hope this helps Nick now im off to greece for a week

Beautiful froglet!
Have you got the tank substrate seeded well with springtails or do you feed them as required?
