New Beginner for Dart Frogs

[slimninj4]

I do have a few questions that I have not found any answers for on the net. first about springtails. How long do they last in the terrarium? Should I put more each week, each month,? 2. How long will a container of fruit flys last in the tank.

thanks guys.

Sorry for your loss,with regards to the springtails if you add them a few weeks before you put the frogs in you will let them get established and start breeding so if the frogs eat a few it won't affect their numbers dramatically.Im not too sure what you mean by how long the container will last in the tank?

Thank you. I mean when you purchase the spring tails they come in a container. Do you dump the entire thing into the terrarium do the springtails last a long time or do you need to "restock" the terrarium with them every once in a while.

if you're wanting to use the springtails as feeders as well you could split the culture in half and dump one half in the viv and culture the rest,or you could culture them all and when they start breeding a bit split them and put half in viv.if you let the the springtails establish for a few weeks they before you put the frog in they should last for practically for ever.
