Today i peer in on my 3 little guys and noticed one of them running for cover. 2 out of 3 never duck and cover but the third has been a little scarce lately. I look in a bit closer to find more than 5 tads on his back. Thats all I could count before he hid behind an overgrown fern. Looks like I finished my new enclosure with barely any time to spare. Meanwhile the other male is inside a brom, calling like a maniac and the female is definitely interested. I wish I had gotten a pic of the male carrying the tads but he's very skittish at the moment. I'm content to leave him to his activity. I have my tadpole rearing setup ready to go.

Hi there
The male dart is probably trying to find a shallow body of water (in a bromeliad or any other plant) and that may be the reason why he's so secretive (my guess, not a definate answer). Very interesting! and btw what type of dart is that guy, ive just forgotten his name.

They're Epipedobates Anthonyi "Santa Isabel". He was definitely looking for the pond n the viv. He would hop over sit in it for a bit then hop out after a random FF or he'd see me and hide. I've noticed they're much more defensive when guarding tads.
for some reason the pic didn't make it on the last post. Here it is again.
