Tree frogs vrs. Darts for beginers

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.

Yeah, I have coaxed myself into being able to culture flies, but I am going to put tree frogs in my viv, and poison dart frogs in another later on. So the flies are not a problem now. Could I culture crickets for my red eyes? Would they eat fruit flies like the darts?
