G-day i posted 2 weeks ago sayen my lithobates were breeding and so on

i am starting to worry cause the female is still holding the eggs/fry in her mouth and it has been 2 weeks i can't see in her mouth either cause she will not stay still

what should i do to find out what is goen on

also she is starting to shrink cause she is not eating so i don't want to loose her how do i get the eggs/fry out of her

ohh and is it normal for her to hold them for this long if it is then don't worry bout the other questions :D

Thanks

No worries mate, I don't think she's holding the eggs anymore.
The things she is holding in her mouth would be her fry.
The eggs she was holding have hatched in her mouth after 3 or 4 days and she will release the fry something like 20 days later.
As soon as she has released the fry she will start eating again.

shes fine. They will normally hold 21-28 days.
