I have three adf's and I would like to breed them. I just read that they begin breeding at about 9 months of age... does anyone know about what age they are when pet stores carry them? How much do breeders usually let them mature before selling them to pet stores? I don't know if anyone knows about this, just curious how much longer I will be waiting for them to breed. I just bought them several weeks ago.
How old are African Dwarf Frogs when you buy them from a pet store?

Well usually they go to the pet store right when they're big enough to sell. So if you can find out how fast they grow in a growth chart or something then maybe you can get a rough estimate based on size. I don't know much about frogs yet but I'm sure someone will chime in with a possible age =) good luck with the breeding. I'm hoping to breed some specific here soon

You feed them well, change water often, and have a good temp---They will grow faster and be ready to breed sooner.
Hmm, it seems to me like they're about 5 or 6 months old at the shop. After a few months the males arms will be built up, they grow bumps underneath and they're good to go. Mine always get in the mood after a good meal of bloodworms and a water change, but the young ones may need some practice to get it right. tee hee
those are really dark. do they get darker with age? mine are a lot lighter (not albino clawed frogs).

johnathon, they really vary a lot. I have some that are light, and some in between, but they seem to lighten up a bit with age.
thanks for the info! i wish i could find some dark brown ones.
