LLL Reptile+ USAFrogs.com = RUN

[Tzunu un]

Please see the thread in Dendroboard regarding USA frogs as it has a lot of information.
(this is the active thread and is long. there is also an older closed thread)
http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/gen...s-usafrog.html

There is also a thread at Dart Den, but you need to be a member there to read.


According to these threads, LLL is selling some of USA Frogs, and USA Frogs is making hybrids between different morphs.

As far as I know USA Frogs is only raising dart frogs.


I do not want to get into an active discussion about this as you will more than get your fill from the threads about USA Frogs, their business practices, and interaction with the dart frog community.
Their web page states that they have over 8,000 tadpoles/frogs in house, anyone else have concerns with mass production at this scale?

You can also find a letter from Dr. Stefan Lotters (main author of “Poison Frogs: Biology, Species, and Captive Husbandry”) informing USA Frogs to stop using material from his book on their site / for marketing, that they have misinterpreted and misused the work, and how he disapproves.

Like Paul, I personally choose not to ever consider buying from USA Frogs or USA Frogs' frogs indirectly from other sources.

I strongly urge everyone to make sure that they have breeder / source information for any dart frogs purchased and that they buy from reputable breeders / suppliers that will provide this information. If they won't provide source information, then I would be concerned.....bad reviews posted, then I would be concerned.

This will make sure that you have quality frogs, will hamper/stop illegal importation, and will keep any potentially "questionable" breeding stock out of the hobby and from being sold.
