Looking into a frog setup!

The Petland in this area is so bad. They mistreat their animals. But I know that there's good and bad with all the chains.

Frogs can't be mixed. It's really hard to find frogs from the exact same region, so they would have different requirements. Also, frogs secrete toxins that are harmful to other frogs. Mixing frogs will lead to problems with cross-contamination. Also, the White's might try to eat the fire-bellied toads! Also, the toads are semi-aquatic and seem to like to spend a lot of time in the water. White's spend much of their time climbing and need a lot of ventilation.

I think there are some fish you can put with some frogs, but it's not something I want to try, and I'm unsure of what can mix with what.

The Petland here only has like one or two types of frogs, so I'm sure it's exciting to expand the amphibian section. I hope you find one you really want to keep.

Hmmm... what about dart frogs... as far as ease of husbandry? Woould they use or enjoy a water feature at all?

I've been considering darts lately too, and from what I've learned, it takes time to make sure that the temperature and humidity are just right, and it would be better to start with a hardier species, but once all those details are settled, they're not too bad. But I have no experience, and plenty of people on here do, so I'll let someone else answer more.

White's is a greater beginner treefrog though, and definitely one of my favorites.

Once you get the hang of them (temperature, humidity, regular food supply, light for plants) they are among the cheapest and easiest to maintain. If you want to start with a tough species, the two species on the Frog TV cam are among the hardiest and most visible, as you can see.

You're doing great advertising Frog TV. And I'm enjoying it.

And thanks for mentioning how hardy those frogs are....how territorial are the Phyllobates terribilis?

They're not territorial. They live well in nice groups like this.

I guess I assumed darts were just territorial. You should be helping in my search for my next frog.
