Frog Breeding

I noticed that sometimes when I breed two frogs I get a different (third) breed out of it. I've started to take notes to see which combinations get you what.

Anyone else doing that and willing to share their findings?

How to breed frogs

Put two ( or more) frogs into your inventory.

Click on one and select the "Breed" option.

You will get a list of all the other frogs in your inventory as possible partners.

Select one and you will get a new frog.

List of frogs you can breed*
As the list was getting very long and I had no way to check every combination, I decided to quote and edit the excellent post, Pamhamlet has made in this thread instead:

Just finished my frog collection and decided to post pictures of them as a key for others to see what they still need to complete their collection. I hope my explanations will help frog breeders out there!

I discovered that there are 5 groups of patterns, and 5 main colors, for a total of 25 frogs. So, there are the same five main colors in each pattern group. Knowing this should help you breed for the frogs you need, so try concentrating on selecting combinations for color and pattern. Some results could be random, but it sure helped me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

- The five patterns are: Plain, Striped, Spotted, Whirly, Wavy
- The five colors are: Green (Leaf), Yellow (Sunflower), Olive (Dirt), Purple (Eggplant), Red (Heart)

Here are the 5 pattern groups, each arranged in this color order: Green, Yellow, Olive, Purple, Red.
I have named each frog for further identification.

PLAIN - Leaf (green), Sunflower (yellow), Dirt (olive), Eggplant (purple), Heart (red)

* Note that the outcome of the breeding is not guaranteed. You only have a chance of breeding a different frog. Sometimes you will get the same frog as "Daddy" or "Mummy" frog. Just keep trying.

Thanks a million @Pamhamlet - I took the liberty to quote your post and put it in the OP here. Your findings are basically all one needs to know to get all the frogs one could ever want. I love, love, love the pictures you added! Absolutely great!

If you have any of the other frogs with 'heart' in their names (Stripped Heart, Spotted Heart, and so on) try breeding it with another frog. You have a chance of getting the regular Heart frog. Or, just keep checking the spawn points and ponds. You'll get it. :)

I realize this is an old discussion, but something very weird happened in my game as relates to frog breeding (I think) and I don't know where else to put this, so here goes.
My Sim had TWO frogs in his inventory when I rotated over to play another Sim in the same save game for a while. Several Sim days & weeks passed until I played him again.
When I did, his inventory was FULL OF FROGS!!!
And not just the two common ones he'd had before. He had almost ALL of them, including the most rare and valuable ones! How the... what the... HUH?!!!
HOW ON EARTH DID THIS HAPPEN? hahaha
Anyone else have this happen? Or is my Sim just special?

Do you have city living? That sim must have been selling things in the flea market which sometimes happens to be a collection the game generates for them in order for them To do so. This has happened to me when I have rotated back to some of my sims.

I have been trying to catch these 4 last frogs for 2 days. I cant seem to find them or breed them. Please Help!

Surfer Leaf Frog (Tiger + Sun Leaf = Surfer Leaf)
DirtSurfer Frog (Striped Dirt + Leopard = Dirt Surfer)
Eggplant Whirl Frog (Striped Leaf + Spotted Eggplant = Eggplant Whirl)
Surfer Eggplant Frog ??

Are these combos right?

surfer Leaf Frog --- surf + leaf
dirt surfer---- dirt + surf
eggplant whirl --- eggplant + whirl
surfer eggplant --- surf + eggplant

I am not sure where you got your combos from. I use these ones. I got them from Carl's

If you have at least two frogs in your inventory and you click on them it will give you the option.

Thanks! That's neat, I'll have to give that a try when I catch another one. Definitely want to see what comes from my Hypnotoad!

Will share my notes when I'm back home. So far it's only 2-3 combinations I tried, but two gave me a different frog through breeding.

Nice! Please keep note of what you get!

Is there any benefit to breeding frogs...?

I imagine the benefit would be profit (you could breed them then sell the extra frogs without the added work of searching for more frogs in the wild), or perhaps if some are only obtainable through breeding, it would help collectors fill out their collections.
