    Default Dubia

    No, they are too big. Flightless fruitflies (dusted) should be the staple. Tiny babies might be small enough, but they will not appear in sufficient numbers to properly sustain your frogs

    Babies, yes, no bigger than the space between the eyes. But what will you do with all the adults running around?

    Never feed roaches to darts or any small frogs in a vivarium! Any escapees will breed of and establish a colony to the detriment of the frogs. Getting rid of them will also require tearing up the whole set-up and sterilization of decor and equipment .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
