Hi Wanabe,

Can you explain the breeding cycle in a bit of detail?

Like how long it takes for your dart frogs to reach sexual

maturiuty, and so forth all the info is greatly apreciated.

Cute little guys you have there.

My male auratus calls most days, many times per day. The female will starting following him around the tank. After some circles around the tank, he eventually will lead her under a coco hut. She lays the eggs (usually about 7-9). He fertilizes them.
After about 2.5 weeks, the eggs hatch. The male goes inside the hut and sits on / near the tadpoles. The tadpoles climb onto his back. He carries them to a small pool of water (usually a bromeliad plant) and deposits the tadpoles.
My frogs are about 1.5 years old. They have been reproducing for about 3 months now.

Hi I know nobody has posted on this thread in several months, but i'm just curious. I'm considering getting some darts in the future and am wondering about their breeding habits. Do they breed at any specific time of the year and do certain conditions have to be met in order to induce breeding? or do they readily breed on their own? You mentioned they have been breeding for three months... do they normally keep producing spawns for several months out of the year or do they do it like year round?

any information anyone can give me would be appreciated, thanks!

For breeding, all frogs are different. It really depends on temperature, environment, and diet. For more information check out dendroboard.com. It is a great source for all things dart frogs.

I've got 8 3 month old green bronze auratus ( babies of the frog seen in this photo) for sale. I paid $30 for the adults. Any reasonable offer (including shipping) won't be turned down!!! I don't have time to take care of the babies any more.
I live in Northwest Wisconsin.
