Captive breeding frogs
A replicated study in 2010–2011 of Darwin’s frogs Rhinoderma species at the National Zoo of Chile, Santiago, Chile (Fenolio 2012) found that the frogs bred successfully in captivity. Reproductive activity and the first young were produced a few months after arriving in captivity. More juveniles were produced the following year. Breeding groups of Darwin’s Frogs were collected from wild populations in 2010. Frogs were housed in enclosures with automatic misting systems, climate control and pre-filtered water.
