How do horned frogs reproduce?

Horned frog, which is the most common pet frog in the world, has changed its name to Wealth Frog in recent years. The most common of these is the bell horn frog, and the most expensive is the Amazon horn frog, also known as the overlord horn frog, worth tens of thousands of Taiwan dollars. So, how do horned frogs reproduce?

First, how do horned frogs reproduce

Horned frogs reproduce by laying eggs. Horned frogs rarely breed in China, because it is difficult to simulate climate change, leading to estrus. The horned frog male is smaller, about 10cm, and the female is larger, about 15CM. And males make courtship calls during the breeding season.

Second, the breeding process of horned frog

Although horned frogs are easy to raise and have a strong physique, it is not easy to reproduce. They must go through a period of 1-2 months of dry and cold hibernation to induce mating and ovulation. At this point, you can put them in a small tank covered with wet water moss and put them in a cool place at a temperature of 20-21 degrees. Let the water moss dry naturally, but you still need to put a small water basin in the tank. For a rainy day. After mating, the female frog will attach the eggs to the aquatic plants and hatch into tadpoles in about 2-3 days. Because tadpoles also have the law of the jungle of the same kind, more aquatic plants must be put into the water for hiding, or tadpoles must be kept in isolation. Tadpoles grow rapidly and can be transformed into young horned frogs in about a month. Young frogs are also safe to be raised in isolation. As long as the young frog stage is reached, the death rate will be greatly reduced. Apart from accidentally choking or choking to death, there are no fatal diseases that threaten their survival. They are the best beginners for raising frogs.

The breeding season of horned frog is from April to July every year, and it is also the busiest season in the countryside and by the river. At night, most male frogs often make sweet calls to attract females to come to lay eggs. Usually a female frog can lay about 300 eggs and 500 eggs at a time, but because some of the eggs are eaten by other animals, not many eggs can hatch. The eggs of horned frogs develop into adults after metamorphosis. Frog eggs become tadpoles first. The tadpole drags its long tail. After a month and a half, the tadpole grows its hind legs, and the legs also grow out of the Gill foramen half a month ago. Interestingly, their legs grow first in the body and then suddenly protrude. Finally, the tadpole's Gill and tail disappear and develop into a frog.
