Monika's African Dwarf Frogs pt. 2 (breeding and such)

Here's a short video filled with pictures, information and videos on my frogs. My frogs just recently laid a ton of eggs (which later hatched into tadpoles) so I decided to make a video of it.

I decided not to try to raise the tadpoles into frogs.. I don't have the time, room or money to do so and it'd be pointless for me to have a bunch of frogs. Please don't nag me about "oh my gosh, you're so cruel.. you're not even giving those poor tadpoles a chance to live!!" Well, consider all those people who use protection and don't give the sperm a chance to live.. its the same deal here. I wouldn't be able to care for them anyways so it's better that I don't raise them to die.

If you're considering getting these kind of frogs as a pet, I'd recommend it as they are easy to care for. You should have at least two for company and make sure you have enough room in the tank (ex. not like the tank that all the frogs were kept in in the first picture). Look up what the ratio should be. You only need to feed them frozen/dried bloodworms or sinking pellets every 2-3 days. Clean out the whole tank about every month, 1/10th of the tank every week. You dont need a bubbler since they go to the surface for air. They are super cute and are pretty fascinating in ways (such as how you can see through their skin and when they shed their skin, it's all in one piece).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to answer them. If not, there's these sites that I found incredibly informative and useful. Enjoy !

when you found the eggs in the tank, where did you move them to? is it okay to keep them in a bowl of clean, dechlorinated water with a heater? how long does it take for them to hatch? i just discovered some eggs in my tank and I'm freaking out because i have no clue what to do lol

[fcukerrr]

@XxJupiterCrystalxX I moved the eggs into a small container that I filled with water from the aquarium. I had no intentions of keeping the eggs because I have no room and no equipment to raise them. There is a link in the video description that goes to a helpful website I found on ADF breeding. It should answer some of your questions. Good luck! :)

so when they lay the eggs you put it in a seprate bowl ect? i was just wondering so i could be prepared if my frog ever lays eggs

[fcukerrr]

@XxMarleyxX08 Yeah, you could. If you leave it in the tank, the frogs will think it's food and eat it. If you want to try to hatch the eggs, seperate them from the parents.

my ADF are obviously males becuz they fight ALOT like at night, but i noticed that they tend to like cling onto eachother as if they're mating. i c then actually take turns doing that or sunthin. i just wanna know if thats natural or sumthin

[fcukerrr]

Im not an expert on frogs or anything but I know that sometimes males of certain species will mount each other or look as if theyre mating to show dominance. That could be what your frogs are doing.

this song is gay

[ginagarf]

My ADF are males and they are doing that. Its not down as low. It looks like its sufficating the other. Is that bad?

@XxMarleyxX08

if u keep them together they will eat the eggs

my frogs did this three times omg

[XxMarleyxX08]

@fcukerrr thanks cuz im asking questions on so many videos about these frogs :D

Thanks for yur time

[mars714]

Well I read that if you leave the eggs in the tank, they will eat them before they hatch. Some animals do that when in a smaller space then the wild.

Do they do this hugging thing all the time?!
