Begginer dart frog questions

[tylototriton]

I have to agree with Lynn! Dart Frogs are much, much easier than most anything else. I've kept amphibians for a while. When I first started there was a mantra that darts were nearly impossible to keep (particularly feed) and, like Brian said, you had to sell your first born to afford them. Now the price of the frogs has dropped tremendously (way below most CB treefrogs) and food is easy as pie to culture. You can buy premade fruit fly media and supplies from almost any frog related vendor. I find it way easier than having to run to the pet store just to find out they don't have the right size crickets. Additionally, dart frogs are much more forgiving in terms of habitat conditions. They can deal with "dirty" habitats. I have one tank that has been running for several years and the only cleaning it has every gotten is a quick glass wipe down. They are super hardy and make more satisfying captives than most tree frogs because of their diurnal and somewhat gregarious behavior.

Cheers!

PS If you don't want to culture fruit flies you can now sign up for weekly or monthly deliveries. Pricier but always a possibility!
