Hi all, I posted in another section of the forum about trying to decide which type of frog to keep, and the more i think about it, the more dart frogs make sense for me.
My reasons for considering dart frogs:
They are diurnal - nocturnal frogs could definitely be an issue when they call (have to keep the tank in my room)
I am much happier about handling fruit flies, and indeed having a go at breeding them myself (and so is my mum, who will look after whatever frog i get if i go away)
They are just plain cuter
Obviously I want to get some first hand experiences of keeping dart frogs if im going to try. I havent kept frogs before, or even any kind of amphibian/reptile, I am willing to put in effort to get this to work (of course), but is it something I should even try? Do I need some experience of keeping other frogs before I start on these more complicated frogs?
I am currently reading through caresheets and anything else helpful i can find on the net, but I would really appreciate advice from you helpful bunch
I would still like to buy an exo-terra enclosure (or similar pre-made), what size would be appropriate?
Do they need to be kept together? I assume a pair would be best?
From this care sheet http://www.amphibiancare.com/frogs/c...ndartfrog.html
there are several types easier to keep, and I have found some of them on this site: http://www.dartfrog.co.uk/amphibians.html.
But i would prefer to go see them in person - are there any shops with darts in stock in south england? I cant remember seeing any dart frogs in the reptile shops i've been in.
The more I think about it, the more dart frogs make sense!
Thanks for any advice!
