I was on the dart frog forum today and I saw people talking about pulling the eggs and raising them yourself or letting the parents do it. So are you going to raise them or are you going to leave them to the parents?

Interesting to ask

The parents of these might try and eat the babies so its best to have them separate

I remove the first spawn but i let subsequent ones hatch in the adult tank and transfer tadpoles to avoid first tads eating later spawns

The toads are far from dart frogs the husbadry and tad pole needs differ greatly. Darts will not eat their tads as they are not an aquatic species like the FBT.

I read there was a risk of them trampling the eggs though. So with toads you typically always pull them?

 

[Bug Trader]

Depends on how cramped the viv is, But usually I will just pull the adults and toss them in tubs while the tads raise. Doesnt matter which way you do it the key is going to be water quality, temp and food.

They will likely spawn again tonight

they spawned! :clap:

again <_<

 

[agent A]

ok so spawn total is like 3 or 4 times so far

egg/tadpole total is about 200

they really grow fast but i need to separate them out better cause 100+ in 1 tank really makes for foul water, which is kinda dangerous for them
