''Gastrotheca ovifera'' occurs in [[cloud forest]]s at elevations of {{convert|800|–|1800|m|abbr=on}} [[above sea level]]. It is associated with [[bromeliad]]s where it hides, especially during dry periods. The eggs are carried on the female's back and have direct development (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage<ref>{{cite book|title=Herpetology: An Introductory Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles |edition=4th |first1=Laurie J. |last1=Vitt |first2=Janalee P. |last2=Caldwell |name-list-style=amp |publisher=Academic Press |year=2014 |page=165}}</ref>).<ref name="iucn status 16 November 2021" />
 
This species can be locally abundant, but it has declined in many places where it used to be common. It is threatened by [[habitat loss]] caused by agriculture, logging, and infrastructure development. However, it has also declined in protected areas such as the [[Henri Pittier National Park]], for reasons that are unclear.<ref name="iucn status 16 November 2021" />
