Has anyone ever bred red eyed treefrogs?? I have a pair that I've raised up from little babies I would like to take a shot at...So has anyone ever done it that can help me out?

Thanks.

you will need to create a rain chamber to simulate a wet season for them, and generally you will need 2 or 3 males per female. Females are very selective about their mates/

I've produced several thousand red-eyes. It's not hard to do, but they're picky about conditions before they breed. You have to cycle them through rainy season, dry season and back to rain. And as has been stated, females want to pick their mates, so you need at least 2 males for her to pick from. Fantasy Frogs is a good webpage to check out. Go to the "Leaf Frog Life Cycle" link to see the breeding pictures.

I have a friend here that currently is rearing several thousand eggs/ tadpoles that were laid last month. Breeding them didn't seem to be any problem, it's not the first time she's done this. However, rearing the tadpoles into strong and healthy froglets is proving to be a bit more challenging.

If you have some specific questions either PM me or post them here. I'll ask her and get back to you, if someone else here doesn't beat me to it.
