Hi Andrew, have you had them screened for chytrid? What price are they? What size and have you got a decent ration of M:F?
Cheers,
Adam C

There is little need to have them screened for Chytrid these came in from Italy where at current the fungus has only been found in 2 out of 101 amphibians so the risk is very low. The frogs I have here are 65-70mm SVL at £22.00 each, I can also order in 3-4cm juveniles from the same origin at £14.00 each. If you wanted them tested for Chytrid then I could arrange it but it is an expensive process for such low risk animals.  |

look what happened over night  not sure if fertile yet, I haven't see any amplexus so very much doubt they are. |

how many of the frogs do you keep in just one of the tanks their in and would it be wise to put them in an out door enclosure + would they breed in one  |

You could keep a pair or trio in a 36"x12''x15" semi-aquatic terrarium. They are an ideal candidate for an outdoor enclosure and will breed readily - several populations exist in the wild here in the UK.

no as I first thought they were indeed infertile. I've heard a bit of calling since and there are lots more females so fingers crossed - although they will be leaving me next week.
