Well, I've paid off my frogs and they arrive this Friday (and not the 16th...), and I've got everything sorted out after months of studying, reading, observing and preparation. I'll make a detailed thread with a load of pictures when the frogs arrive, from start to finish.
Anyway, I'm really scared about the frogs jumping out of the tank. It's 100% escape-proof but I see videos of people on youtube where they have the frogs literally near the door opening, with them open, and do what they have to do. I'm still a beginner, but this surely must be at a risk?
I've tried to design the tank in a way that I enter/open it as little as possible. If the frogs are at the top end of the tank, I'll open through the bottom, if they're at the bottom, I'll open up the latch on the lid, so now my question:
'Is there a correct way to introduce a dart frog into the vivarium?'
I'm getting two Ranitomeya Imitator 'Varadero'/'Jeberos' pair and I believe they will be packeted individually in tupper-wear-ish containers. Do I simply open up the lid in the direction of the tank and hope that when he/she jumps in it won't jump in the wrong direction out of the glass? Once the first frog is near the top, I would open it up again and let the second frog in, but just how risky is this process?
Maybe I'm just being paranoid, I don't want any escapes.
