breeding frogs is great, it increases the numbers of captive bred frogs in the pet trade. if you are interested in breeding you will need more than 2 WTF's. as for the specs on how to conditiom them for breeding check my site.
when whites are young all the food you feed them will go into overall growth, once the frrog reaches sexually maturatity the frogs growth will decrease and the food you feed it may make the frog fatter. i dont know what your definition of a fat looking WTF is but if it is 'fat' it is not healthy, and will deplete the overall life expectency of your frog. the best way to tell if your frog is getting overweight is by looking at the supra tympanic ridge(bulge above tympanum), if it begins sagging a little bit over half way of the frog tymapnic membrane then it is getting fat.

I totally agree with luke! Its great to increase the CB population! May i suggest using the large clear rubbermade containers to house tads in, they are very cheap, but never leak. all you do is hook a filter and heater on the side and your all set! Fill us in on you progress, as i would love to start a breeding program as soon as i can get my hands on a few more "specimines"
Also i have a question for luke. i was looking at your site (great site, beautiful pics!!) i noticed how incredibly green your frogs were and i was wondering if they were wild caught? or its just the australian viriety?

all my frogs are CB, and i bought them from a very good reptile/amphibian shop, just after the metamorphed into froglets. and yes,they are the Aussie form. because WTF naturally occur down here we have been breeding them for years and years, so it is very easy to get a hold of some great CB specimens.
