Trilled my Strawberry Dart Frogs just laid a clutch of eggs. From my understanding these are harder to breed. Right now I have a trio of unknown genders and never expected to have any luck with these.
Sorry I am asking stupid questions since I am having trouble finding information on breeding these. Most tadpole and breeding information is not for the egg eaters. I was surprised to find all the eggs in one canister. I thought a fertile and infertile egg got deposited in each canister and not all in one originally but it seems the female in this case transfers them to their own canister and deposits the infertile egg at that time.
1) What is the best angle for film canisters with this frog. I had all of mine at 45 degree angles 1/3 to 1/2 filled with water. The one they chose to lay eggs in was the highest and most horizontal. Also least amount of water
2) Do they use a different angle canister for laying the eggs and a different one for rearing the tadpoles?
3) Should I just dump out this batch of eggs since they all look bad to get them to move onto a new batch?
4) Will a female lay eggs without a male present? I have not heard any calling.
If I had to guess I probably want a few almost perfectly horizontal ones for laying eggs just like my Santa Isabels and the rest maybe 60 degrees so they can hold the most water for when they get relocated. I would think the female needs some dry area to be able to deposit the egg otherwise she won't have anywhere to sit. This is just me guessing.
