Oophaga granulifera "Baru"

Oophaga granulifera "Baru".

Line: Frye / Stottlemeyer

Unknown filial generation.

Oophaga granulifera "Baru" hail from Costa Rica. These frogs have brilliant granulation and are brilliantly colored. They are very uncommon and are threatened in the wild. These are large obligate egg feeding frogs. These frogs feed their young with infertile eggs after depositing them in bromeliad axils. They are kept in pairs in a minimum terrarium size of 18 x 24, but appreciate larger enclosures. These frogs can be difficult to breed, so have patience. The females generally lay clutches of 4-10, and tadpoles can take 80 days or more to morph into froglets. Additional information can be found, of course, through our complimentary Encyclopedia Database: DendroKnow Project.
