Hi y'all,
I had a wonderful surprise yesterday! It made me so happy that I decided to share it with you all here, too.
Recently I lost a female varadero due to an unfortunate accident. I got a new female today - a special delivery from a special friend. My male varadero is so happy to have a mate again that he had not stopped calling since this afternoon! I even saw a new female follow the male deep into a bromeliad. The match making was a great success!
Then, it happened. All of a sudden I saw three frogs, or rather two frogs and a froglet! Unbeknownst to me, my male and his previous mate have been raising a baby.
For the past week or so, I was wondering why my single male was shrinking in size. I checked the moisture level in the tank (which was good) and made sure that he was fed well with lots of fruit flies and springtails. Well, now I know.
