Default stimulating breeding.

SO i have 4 sets of frogs.. Three leucs, two black auratus, 3 spotted auratus, and a pair of cobalts.. for the last two weeks i have been feeding less and misting less.. Has it been long enough to up the food and misting to see if I can get them in the mood? If so should i feed 2 times a day ?> More? What about misting? 2 times a day? three..
I figure now that I got all these frogs I might as well make a go at breeding them.. any help is appreciated.

The auratus and tincs will breed in their own time after they are 12-18 months. The leucs are considered seasonal (they don't breed for a solid part of a year) but will do it in their own time as well, and determine their own schedule, you really just need to sit back and wait.

Cycling frogs involves a few months to half a year of a "dry" cycle, a couple weeks won't do anything useful. Also, if you are trying to get them to breed, you want to feed them more and better to get them in good condition. I do not recommend a change in amount fed, but rather a change of the staple food item being fed as in the wild the available food items change with the seasons.

Once a day is probably fine as long as the vivs are sealed off well.
