Wild stone frogs perennial habitat in the cool mountain streams and gullies or waterfalls near the cave, artificial domestication of stone frogs, from the wild to domesticated, the living environment and other aspects of the huge changes, artificial rearing, the frog pond must be taken to a reasonable design, so that the frog pond should be similar to the natural environment, but also to facilitate the management of the man-made, the following we will come together! Take a look at the construction method of stone frog breeding pool!

The growing environment of the stone frog

The stone frog likes to live in the damp and quiet, less light, near the water source, under the rock wall of the shade, there are groups of people living and night foraging habits, the night is the height of the activity, the usual activity is weak, smooth, in the breeding season, frequent activities, with the behavior of chirping and dragging the pair, like to eat earthworms, maggots, grasshoppers, ants, loaches, crabs, mole crickets and other live bait, for the cold-blooded When the water temperature drops to 10℃, it enters into hibernation, and the hibernation period is about 4 months. After hibernation, the body weight will be reduced moderately, and the frogs start to come into heat in April, and the amount of eggs discharged will be 1,000-3,000 each time. The frogs' eggs usually hatch into tadpoles in 8-20 days, and tadpoles like to live in the boulder cracks in creek pits or in the pile of rubble in the suitable environment, and they will grow and metamorphose into juvenile frogs in 60-75 days. In a suitable environment, they usually grow into young frogs after 60-75 days of growth.

Site selection for stone frog breeding pond

The environment directly affects the growth, development and reproduction of stone frogs, and frog ponds are not restricted by location. Generally speaking, it is better to choose a breeding site with good water quality, convenient drainage and irrigation, quiet environment, warm in winter and cool in summer, no drought or flooding, easy to manage, and escape and anti-pest environment. Stone frog breeding pools are built indoors or outdoors, indoor requirements ventilation, cool, no direct sunlight, outdoor can be built under the pergola frog pool.

Requirements for stone frog breeding pool

Artificial breeding of stone frogs generally take intensive, the pool should pay attention to as much as possible in line with the habits of frogs, for the availability of water, land, stone caves, feeding and other conditions, to create a good living environment, but also to facilitate the management of rearing.

1, seed frog pool: the area is generally 4 to 10 square meters appropriate, pool height of 0.8 meters, the pool depth of 0.1 to 0.15 meters, the pool of land and water area ratio of 3:1, and there are perched caves, the bottom of the pool paved with a larger pebbles, light and dark, the humidity to maintain 80%, to create an ideal ecological environment for frogs to live in and to promote their growth and development, thereby increasing the rate of egg-laying and fertilization rate.

2, hatching pool: an area of 1 square meters, pool height of 0.5 meters, water depth of 15 to 20 cm, water quality is fresh, pH 6 to 8, and contains sufficient oxygen can be. You can also use a large long oval basin instead.

3, tadpole pool: area of 3 to 8 square meters, pool height of 0.8 meters, water depth of 3 to 10 centimeters, pH 6 to 7, water and land ratio of 2:1, need to be shaded to feed a group of tadpoles of the same specifications in each pool is good.

4, young frog pool: area of 4-6 square meters, pool height of 0.8 meters, water depth of 10-15 centimeters, water and land ratio of 2:1, the pool is paved with 3-5 centimeters of small stones, stone caves, good water quality, pH 6-7.5.

Note: all types of frog pools in the shape of a rectangular pool, the bottom of the pool is slightly tilted, the drainage holes in the lowest part of the pool so that the pool water can be drained, the pool is set up with The water surface, land, stone caves, food table and other things, the pool on the mouth of the net cover, in order to prevent frogs from jumping and fleeing, hostile organisms invasion, the water intake pipe is installed in the pool on the upper side, close to the net cover of the bottom of the newly built pool can not be used immediately, with disinfectant disinfectant (to remove the alkaline), soak with water many times before the frog can be raised.
