Abstract

Two pairs of Hyla arborea L.-green frog were bred in captivity in order to discover different aspects regarding: copulation, eggs overlay, embryo development, metamorphosis, feeding, and behaviour. We manage to establish the optimum growth conditions in captivity and we made recommendations regarding the terraristic. The study can contribute to the knowledge and conservation of this endangered specie.
