I could use your infinite wisdom on this one.....
I have a 3.5 yr. old Azureus female that I purchased as part of a proven pair approximately 1.5 years ago. She produced eggs steadily for the first six months, although most of the tads ended up with SLS. Other times a lot of the tads died because I raised them communally and didn't realize that they were susceptible to tad on tad violence (I know better now).
I've moved a couple of times and had to disrupt their environment, so I understood when they stopped mating. I've been in my place for approximately 7 months now, but being as aggressive as she is, she stressed out her mate and he recently passed 2 months ago . Prior to that, I did seperate the two for awhile and tried the wet /dry season thing. My question is, after almost a year of inactivity and at her age, can she still produce offspring and should I purchase an adult male for her to mate with? Also, do female frogs fall out of love with their mates after a period of time together and prefer a new mate?
