Pocket Frog Cheats & Hints

Pocket Frogs - NimbleBit
Tip #1 After your baby  frog has hatched – take him to the pond, hop around and eat flies – he’ll be mature real soon (each fly takes away about one minute of it’s mature time). Also the bigger the fly, the more the time to mature is reduced.
Tip #2 A new frog will not contain a color or pattern that does not appear on at least one of the parents.The only exception to this is the base color – sometimes breeding two frogs with different base color together there is a small chance that the new frog will have a glass body.
Tip #3 One of the easier and less involved ways to make some extra money is to keep two copies of your most expensive frog and then breed them. If you want to eek out a little extra, keep a habitat with lots of +happiness items and move the frogs into there for awhile before you sell. While they’re sitting in there getting happier, you can have another set of 8 in egg form. Rinse and repeat.
Tip #4 Cross breed level 1 frogs with level 7 frogs gives you 300+ xp each time. If you have the coins, you can always just sell the eggs for a lost and keep breeding.
Habitat effect on frog happiness
Each frog gains about half a percent from each point of scenery happiness, they also gain happiness from each other frog in the tank. They gain this happiness over time.
Hatching time
The time it takes to hatch is 10% of the total time. So 10 hours would be 1 hr or 30 mins would take 3 mins.
Breeding
In Pocket Frogs, there are 13,800 different breeds you can collect, create and share. Each breed is determined by three genetic attributes: Base Color, Pattern Color, and a Pattern. The name of the breed is given by the names of the attributes used to create the frog, eg Green Voila Marmorea. There are 23 base colors, 15 pattern colors and 40 patterns. Patterns become unlocked as the player levels up.
