Hi everyone,

I became a frog owner for the first time almost a year ago. My White's tree frog is still doing well, as far as I can tell healthy and happy. I fell in love with watching these little critters and have been thinking of getting more.
Dendrobatids seem like a fascinating group of frogs to observe. I am entirely OK with not being able to interact with them as I do with my WTF. However, they seem fairly tricky to provide an environment for. I understand that they need a large amount of space relative to their size, but since most PDFs are very small, the enclosure still shouldn't end up being terribly big, should it?

I am in college at the moment, and end up transporting my animals fairly often. With my frog's tank and my gecko's tank, there isn't a whole lot of space left in the car. Would it be all right to find a species of dart frog that would be happy in a smaller vivarium, and what species would that be probably? Would it be wise to have a breeding pair, would I be able to sell their babies to some kind of vendor?

Or should I just hold off on them (for a few years probably) until I can provide a permanent space for them?

Oh, another thing. Are there any dart frog species that do not call, or maybe the females do not call, or at least are very quiet? I am thinking D. auratus - the size is right, but I don't know whether they have a loud call or not.

Thanks for your time. I'll probably have more questions after your replies.
