    Default Anyone heard of designer frogs.com

    Was wondering if anyone has heard of them or have bought frogs through them because I noticed they had good prices and was thinking of buying from them but wanted some opinions first. Thanks in advance!

    I looked into them several months ago and found nothing but bad things about them. You will be better server to either go to a Reptile show in your area or buy online from one of the more reputable breeders.

    I bought six frogs from desinger frog and it has been 2 months. They are all eating and active. Only two of my six are still a little skiddish. And yes price and being new to the hobby are what caused me to choose them. But my frogs where delivered. Safe n sound

    The issues i heard about (and they are what I was told not first hand) is that they in correctly identify their frogs and do false advertising. They have changed their name 3 or 4 times in the last 1 - 2 years. They just got a bad rap so I steered clear of them. I don't think anyone will crucify anyone over where they buy frogs

    but thank you for letting us know you got some from them and they are all healthy. Positive reviews are good for members to see

    Yeah I am very new to all of this. And with a kid I know a budget so I figured I would atleast let them know i chose that rout and it seems to be okay so far. Also in my research before purchasing I noticed that their frogs seem to be classified about the same as everywhere els with the scientific term available as well as a sorta main stream commercial name. But yes like you said I dont think it matters to much. Though josh's frogs has more of a selection and surien does aswell.

    I see you have used Josh's Im certain I will to at some point. For me its about availability as well as pricing and a healthy animal. I seeb that Josh's. Has an awesome selection. Ill have to give LLL a look. Are they reasonable with prices?

    LLL is similar to Josh's frogs. I bought my Darts from Josh and my Mantellas from LLL.

    Hi,
    I have never purchased from DF
    So, I have absolutely no idea as to their reputation or the health of their frogs, etc.
    They have a very good guarantee. And yes ; their frogs are reasonably priced.

    Personally, It bothers me that they re-name the species and claim the "name" is TM
    I would love to know why they do this, as it just creates confusion ?

    BE VERY CAREFUL THIS TIME OF YEAR
    I don't know where you live?
    It's hot. This is a tricky time of year to purchase a frog that has to be delivered.

    This is how I have a frog shipped to me...if at all:
    I pick up an OVERNIGHT delivery at my FedEx hub . This way I'm there when when the HUB opens.
    If I'm told told it can not be sent that way--- I don't buy it.
    You want to be - SURE - the delivery is protected from over-heating!!!! Ask questions !
    I bring a frog safe container with well dampened paper towel on the bottom.
    I carefully transfer the frog to re-hydrate the frog as quickly as possible !!!
    You want the container to be large enough to get your hand into it so you can open the deli container safely.

    The issue with designer frogs, as I understand it, was that they sell hydrids and give them their own names. I'm not sure how much is true, but I would imagine there is a reason they have changed names so often.

    Well im wanting to get a sexed pair or proven pair of Azureus without paying the almost $300 which is why I was attracted to DF. I live in Washington state and there isnt very many shows around here or reptile shops. I mean I want to get good frogs but I kinda have a budget as well.

    I personally would go with DF any questions after your purchase . You can email them for answers i was just informed that they mix all of there frogs bloodlines so they are not inbred or sibling frogs

    Unfortunately, if you want a proven pair, then forget a budget. You are not going to find a proven pair of any species cheap. Even the least expensive species of darts command high pricing for proven pairs.

    Well how much should just a sexed pair cost me?

    Default Anyone heard of designer frogs.com

    Darts are sold as froglets. And while the breeder may do their best to get you a sexed pair, the odds are 50-50. It's very difficult to determine sex at such young ages.

    Are you searching for a pair to breed?

    DF has sexed adult paris from 150$ to 200$ range. I know everyone seems to have negitive things to say about desingerfrogusa but i ordered six frogs fron the and not one of them is deformed or sick they are all healthy and active. Aside from the two skidish ones that hide when i come up to the tank. I dont have any real complaints about their frogs. Personally. I think they are more fair with there prices because most commons breeds of dart frogs. Breed like "frogs" and other websights are making a huge hustle off of them. Granted thereis specimen. That are harder to care for and breed. I feel as though. The common breeds are priced more fairly on DF. Ofcourse everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
