I raise juveniles for a couple of months in containers like that, but definitely not once they past 3 months or so. The general recommendation for tank size for dart frogs is 5 gallons (about 20 Liters) per frog.

And I got some netting mesh stuff for ventilation

A ten-gallon tank with a piece of cut glass as a lid would run about $15. This should be the minimum size you consider for housing any dart frogs. The container you have could be used for froglets for a month or two, but not for an adult frog.

Maybe you should consider a pac-man frog. they never move!

Take care, Richard.

Hi Cheri,

Sometimes I forget to check the post dates. I hope he didn't decide on any darts for this set-up, though.

Thanks for the welcome, Richard.
