‘Singing’ African Dwarf Frog!!

Welcome to the amazing world of the African Dwarf Frog. Free tips about keeping African Dwarf Frogs. Lots of info and more on African Dwarf Frogs, your home and family and pet home.

Your African Dwarf Frog ‘sings’ or ‘hums’ usually during the mating period or when he is excited.

When conditions are right your male African Dwarf Frog will start to callout for a female.

The time when African Dwarf Frogs mate is called ‘amplexus’. He may also perform a ‘mating dance’. He will arch his back and kick his legs out while ‘singing’ or calling.

If he finds a female he will grasp her from behind, right above her legs. This behavior usually happens at night.

The female will rapidly swim to the surface doing a series of somersaults. She lays her eggs at the surface and scatters them around while the male fertilizers them on the outside of her body.

The time period for mating is from 30 minutes to several hours.

When she has laid all her eggs, she goes to the bottom of the tank and lies motionless. After some minutes the male will release her and revert back to normal behavior.

If you happen to be watching, it is a fascinating and wonderful experience. Truly amazing creatures!
