Anyone work with these frogs before? We have a great group of these frogs and have about 150 froglets that morphed in April that are doing well on springtails and fruit flies!

We have a non-breeding group here in Fresno. They're interesting frogs for sure. I'm going to assume you're working at the Bronx Zoo? They have a great deal of success breeding them, though from what I hear (from an ex Bronx employee) it's rather easy to induce reproduction.

Yeh i'm over at the reptile house right now. We are waiting for water quality results to return before we breed our recommended breeders.

The Khihansi spray toads are also very neat frogs as well. One of our coworkers just returned from Tanzania working on a spray toad building in Dar Salaam University

Well then, you must've heard of Jim Giacobe. He was the senior keeper there (a few years back)before leaving to Fresno Chaffee. He did very well with those toads, from what he has told me. I helped him setup our frog room before he left the zoo field to pursue teaching as a career.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
