Re: Female BriBri calling?
Sorry to hear it. Best of luck in finding an appropriate female. When I was keeping BriBri I ended up with 2 males, too, but mine were acquired as young, unsexed, frogs. Mine was just luck of the draw, and no fault of the breeder. It was actually a bit of a shock when I caught the suspected female calling. "She" was huge and fat. BriBri are such a large morph of pumilio, that the size of some males, can be surprising.
I purchased my BriBri from RobertN, here on Dendroboard. I am only listing his name as a possible source for a female BriBri. I know he has been working with them for many years. He might be do something right, as he regularly lists offspring here. If you would like any details about our transaction, I can't give them here, but you are free to pm me with any questions.
Give your breeder a chance first, of course. It's possible he accidentally gave you a much needed male, and is wondering why his viv is so quiet. He may still have a female for you.
I would like to point this out. You said they were likely in a group setting before. It is possible that aggression was minimal in his group. It is possible that in your viv, with no other frogs to "dilute" the aggression, your subordinate male may be bullied to death. Watch him closely and have a temporary viv ready, just in case.
