So my mom had been wanting some darts since I started to get into owning frogs. So my mom looked around for tanks and such and found some good deals. We now have three other tanks, four total in the house.I am loving the fact that I started this obsession in my house.
On Craigslist there was someone who was selling 2 vivariums, all planted and everything and two diffrent darts in one tank and one female dumpy tree frog in the other tank. We weren't interested in the dumpy but mom wanted the tanks and the dart. all of this was only $80!!!
Today we went down there and went to get the tanks and the dart. Unfortunatly the older dart died...
Heres the sad part. We got there and the guy admitted to neglecting this poor dart. He's very skinny! We felt so bad we had to give him a good home, we were happy to take him. On the way home the previous owner had some fruit flies for us, the dart ate like he hadn't in days!!!!!!!!!!! This poor little guy was literally being starved. >
:'( So we gladly have brought him home into our family. He/she is in his/her new CLEAN vivarium. The tanks both the dart and the dumpy were in have mold! We can smell it a good five feet away! The smell is not earthy at all but ewww and moldy and as if something is rotting!! Made us pretty mad actually. This individual has so many pets he neglected the delicate care his frogs required. So we gave him a clean new vivarium and will completely sterilize and remodel his old vivarium. The dart is currently hopping around happy, only a little stressed and started to eat no less than a minute after introduced. We have named him Mocha Java Chiller, Java for short.
However, we feel really bad about leaving the dumpy with this guy...really bad. If ANYONE can save him please do. This guy is on Craigslist. Denver Craigslist, search under community, search white tree frog or vivarium. The title is currently 2 vivariums with frogs, but we have one of the frogs and the vivariums. PLEASE save this poor female dumpy!!!This is Java!
Our new baby and Campana!!
