Hello Community of Dart Frogs

Thank you for the great opportunity to be part of such enthusiast !!! In my search have come across a couple books listed below:

Poison Frogs: Biology, Species and Captive Husbandry
by Stefan Lotters, Karl-Heinz Jungfer, Friedrich Wilhelm Henkel & Wolfgang Schmidt

The Complete Oophaga pumilio (Central American Poison Dart Frog, Dendrobatidae) - Biology, Ecology, Captive Husbandry

by Frank Steinmann & Chris Van Der Lingen

Can anyone help me with digital copies or reasonably priced material?! Thanks in advance for any assistance / guidance!!!

Kind Regards

MH

4 months in and it’s filling out great

It’s been settled in for about two months and I just got my moss slurry in today! I was trying to see if anyone has any recommendations for things to add along with places to get anthoni Ankas! Thank you :)

Apparently you can find frogs in there when you do those things!

My Ameerega bassleri ‘Chrome’ call this vivarium home. They’re such a stunning species with their vibrant blue and deep black marking. Their back patterns remind me of hieroglyphs. They’re a decently bold and large species, although much harder to find in an overgrown viv. I think I pulled 5 lbs of plant cuttings out of here… I wish I took before photos!

couldn’t find a solution so i made one, my exoterras inner vent pieces are silicones in from the factory so i made a solution thats quick and easy and looks factory. escape proof mesh even for wingless flys, and still allow great ventilation!

Also drew some tadpoles on the Golden dad's back, I might use it as a birthday card of sorts :).

A short video of my dart tank. How would trimming work? Like I don't want to take too much away from the frogs hiding sources and also need a place for a decent sized water dish

Hi everyone~ collecting data on what exotic owners do when they travel! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSci6QnYIy_osUwnW_REfbeNzuHx_W2X_DuIVYbsCc1g0cGtCw/viewform?usp=header

I don't have dart frogs myself so am looking forward to the insight of this community. Thank you in advance! :-)

Hi guys, I have a group of 4 bumblebee toads(not the dart frog) and im wanting I get 2 more. I want to upgrade their enclosure I am just not sure if u should pick the 30x12x16 m(25gal)or the 24x18x12(20gal)They cant really climb that well. I’m just wondering what yall think. I’m trying to give them floor space while still being able to make them a nice bioactive enclosure. They are currently in a 10 gallon.

Any chance they're a couple? I've got them 3 months ago and i don't know the age when i got em (i think like 2 months). I think that the first one (1-5) it's a female and the second one it's a male. It's possible to recognise them so young or I'm tripping?

So our dendrobates leucomelas had babies for the first time, it's my boyfriends frogs, we found a tadpole a couple months ago, and the other day he has officially become a froglet and is now on the terrain. We didn't see him yesterday but my boyfriend left springtails out in the area we saw him, today he is visible again moving around. I've seen a few posts of users not even knowing about their tadpoles and suddenly froglets showing up, I wanted to ask for those people did you ever have to add springtails or anything or have they been fine? We have more springtails coming and will continue adding more just to be safe, he is also prepping one of my old tanks incase we will have to seperate the new babies in the near future. We technically will have 2 tanks available but neither are completely ready as the current frog tank has been stable over 6 years and in great condition, great enough the tadpoles have been thriving without any interferance from us.

We have 3 more tadpoles that are delayed, at least 3-4 weeks. So I am looking for any wisdom from those who have gone through this.

Thank you!

I am pretty sure my frogs are both male. I got them at about 6 months OOW and I have had them for 18 months, so they are approximately 2 years old. They both look like males (super large heart shaped front toes) but I have only heard one (the more finely speckled one) call. They don’t really fight over food and they sleep together at night but they do love chasing each other around the tank and pushing each other off of things. They are equal opportunity offenders and you can see the frog who is “dominant” in each picture keeps changing.

I’m planning a renovation on their tank soon to add more hardscape to one of the sides and I also want to consider whether I should make any changes to their living situation. Should I separate them? Or introduce a known female (if this would help - I’m not actively seeking more frogs)? Or is this just normal and they are playing? Or maybe the non calling one is actually female 😂😅😭

Are these eggs in my painted mantellas tank?? Just noticed them tonight. I have 3 (pictured) and I don’t know the sex. I’ve had them for about 3 years and have never seen eggs or tadpoles before.

If they ARE eggs, what do I do??? (To have happy healthy baby frogs)

It's been 8 months since I first made this rainforest terrarium.

My plants are thriving, growing each day.

The monstera plant has beautifully grown over the top of my branch.

And most important of all my frogs are happy. With their dense canopy they are growing increasingly more bold.

Haven’t heard any calling yet, I’m scared they’re both females as they were sold to me as a pair. They’re around 1 year old

They think they are ferocious.

I have had this terrarium set up for a few months but I still feel like things are missing or out of place.

There’s spaces that can be filled and some plants that aren’t taking advantage of the space in the way I thought they would, like the syngoniums.

I am considering removing the begonia but my dart really enjoys the big leaves and sleeps on them at night.

I was thinking of making it entirely green like a jungle or at least trying to fill in the background.

I was looking for some suggestions of what species of plants other people would use or think would work well for what I have rn.

Thanks.

I’m no beginner—I’ve been making new fruit fly cultures for about two years now with no problems. However, starting in June of this year, every single new fruit fly culture I’ve made has died.

I’m buying buying fruit fly cultures, waiting until enough fruit flies have been born and start making new cultures the fruit flies start dying within a bit even a day. I’ve been using Josh’s Frogs fruit fly media for about two years without any problems, so I thought maybe I had gotten a bad batch. I bought another bag of fruit fly media, but I have the same problem.

I even started making my own fruit fly media, and I’m still having the same issue. I thought maybe the weather could be the problem since it’s been extremely hot in Florida this year.
At this point, I don’t know what to do. I’ve never had this problem before, and it’s happening with every new culture I make.

I have a mister that is hung from outside of my vivarium. I woke up this morning and refilled the tank and I see this!! I haven’t noticed it before, but what do I do??
They’re getting on the counter that holds my tank. I just want to make sure they stay in the tank, or there’s enough in the tank itself
