Tree frogs vrs. Darts for beginers

[Pocket Frogs]

Thanks! I am also on Herp Care Center and started a thread there too. One of the people said that they housed a pair of auratus with a red eye (link here http://www.herpcenter.com/introduce-...599-hello.html {I am FunFroggies}), is it a possibility to do that with a pair of both (I am looking to breed the red eyes)? And is there a way to feed darts something besides live fruit flies, because anything with the words "live" and "food" in the same sentence are a HUGE no.
Thanks for your help

I know Exo-Terra has a line of canned foods, do you know if they would eat anything on this list? --> Exo Terra : Canned Foods

Sorry to be that guy, but housing a auratus with a callidryas sounds like a perfectly good recipe for disaster. Not only do they have different care requirements, there's always the danger of slowly poisioning when housing different kind of amphibians together, since they all excrete different serets from their skins which could slowly decreased to others health. Lastly, a large red eye could very well try to eat a small dart frog.

Also, if live food is completely unthinkable, you have to give up the frog idea, I'm afraid. They won't eat dead food, most frogs won't. Perhaps a pyxie frog or a pacman (which is trained to be hand fed), but a dart frog? Not a chance

Oh ok, I guess I will think about it. Thanks for your help.

My advice would be go get on Youtube and look at videos of live food (that's what I did beforing getting cockroaches, to get more used to it beforehand). Fruit flies are probably the least imtimidating food source, so a dart would perhaps be a good call (if getting over the live feeder-fear).

I hope you find something that works out for you!

Ok I would be able to handle buying crickets at the store, but I can't raise my own fruit flies like I am seeing everywhere.

Fruit fly culturing is a simple and pretty cost effective process. I actually just by pre-made media for the cultures from both Joshsfrogs and Black Jungle.
Mix up, add flies, and 10 days later you have flies.

There are also a pile of good do it yourself mixes for media that is all items you probably have in your home.
