    i dust them with vitamin A..was doing it every day but i just read that wasnt good so i stopped ...i have only had my frog for a week..
    Good Morning,
    You don't want to dust with Vit A every day.
    Save this for when the frog is an adult ....use the Repasy Vit A about 2 X/month.
    Daily should be Calcium and Vit D. Repashy has this product ( they have *an all in one... Cal /Vit D, little A, and Vits)
    as well as Re-Cal ( has separate *Ca and Vit D / separate * Vit supplement )
    My 2 cents: I alternate all * three produce ----> hoping to get a benefit from 2 manufacturers.
    Be sure to get the Ca and vit D into him !!!! The Rep-Cal -- Ca and Vit D is ( pink and white label ) is at most big box pet stores.

    The most common cause of " new dart frog demise" is dehydration; so it's good he found the water you provided
    You will see them sitting in it from time-to time. It looks to be a perfect depth for him...you don't want it too deep.

    You could have kept him in the qt for quite some time.
    Be sure he is finding his food (observe him). If not just put him back into the temp tank.
    Be sure he is not 'missing' his flies when he attempts to grab them. If so, get him back to the QT immediately.

    I had purchased a trio of tics a while back ......one needed an extra month in QT.
    Poor baby was missing most of his flies, of which I believe is a Ca deficiency.
    If they are not implemented properly - they will fail to grow / thrive

    It is best to make 78 a warning area regarding the temp.
    It's the "heads-range". You don't want it to go above 80.

    Cheap $1.99 classe aquarium thermometers are great!
    Simply take the rubber stopper off and stick it in the substrate.
    They are cheap and easy to move around.
    They provide one added layer of temperature monitoring.

    You will need to close off the screen top, otherwise I doubt you will be able to:
    1) maintain the temp
    2) keep the humidity high enough

    Your tank looks to be an exo terra. You will need to remove the screen. I remove them completely.
    Here you go: ( I buy cheap glass so there is NO UV protection in the glass)
