Afaik nobody has managed to breed them succesfully. They got so far as to the females actually carrying eggs (you can see them through their translucent bellies!) but nothing came of them. My theory as to why is that they didn't use an enclosure DEEP enough. These frogs dig a cave for their babies (who actually skip the usual tadpole stage and are born fully formed, legs and all) that is way below their usual sleeping burrow depth. I'd go with at least 1m/3ft of soil.

I never thought I'd be so invested in whether a frog eats or not...

Watching this after BBL died, RIP LEGEND

8:18 it’s like aliens picking you up, you pissing your pants in fear, getting a bath then you get showered in fruit loops

It’s actually ethically good for someone with reptile keeping experience to try to breed healthy specimens like this to help stop more of them from being wild caught

Name them Tubs, Lubs, and Chubs. All nicknames for my mother-in-law

RIP BBL, you were a legend

For future reference, try to avoid swabbing frogs with dirt on them when you're taking swabs for disease testing. Dirt can inhibit the PCR reaction and result in a false negative. For best results, gently rinse your frogs off with distilled water before swabbing. You're trying to collect skin cells when you swab your frogs, so it's fine if you rinse them off first, just make sure to use gentle pressure when swabbing.

It may sound like a dog toy, but this is the sonorous war cry, of a very angry frog...

Rip BBL you will rest in peace in our hearts

You triggered her instinct to eat after the rain which she only does if she doesn't sense any predatorss, (you). It might just be that her family line is a bit more scared than those other two you got, so she was a little more scared, but that probably saved some of her ancestors too.

The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) recently shared that the Branch’s Rain Frog has been rediscovered after it was last seen in 2008. The elusive little frog has the entire conservation community rejoicing, especially because they managed to discover two frogs.

I saw three of these on my porch. They just sit near the ant lines and picking them up one by one. They can sit for hours and just dont care if I touch them.
