Dendrobates Auratus question

[xkatelynell]

Soo today I went to petland..and somehow came home with this little creature o.o



Anyway, being they are so small, is a tank this size okay? I will be getting more plants/hiding areas/ect next time I have more money & can order some good stuff from josh's frogs so right now i'm just curious about the enclosure itself.



The temperature is awesome and the humidity is also really nice. This tank has 2 small vents for air. It's 2.5 gal.

These guys seem to be more ground dwelling than most others, so once I get more stuff in there for him to hide in would that be okay?

Pleaaaaseee don't kill me for the lack of hiding places I promise it will be better soon!

I can't really tell how big it is. Normally for dart frogs they say the tanks should be no smaller than 10 gallons for the young ones, and twenty plus for when they get adults.

Do you have a steady supply of small prey for your dart frog?

She said in her post that it is a 2.5 gallon tank. How big is the frog Katelyn?

I was talking about the frog. I couldn't see it and tell if it was a juvenile or adult.

My frog is the size of your thumb nail. Very small. Though the pet store said it was full grown? I mean, it is a pet store and the possibility of them being wrong is very high :/

So is a 2.5 good sized for a small frog for now? Eventually should I get a 10 or 20 gal? Or should I go for something like an exo terra with more height than width?

Thanks everyone for your responses!

Since I have tree frogs every time i need crickets I grab 2 cultures of fruit flies.
