Once your viv is built, you have a means to keep the humidity up (simple), and a few fly cultures running, caring for darts is actually easier than caring for many other frogs that are always suggested to beginners.
My Whites and Red Eyes require much more attention, water dish cleaning daily, scattered waste pick up, misting twice a day, and trashed glass wipe downs also on a daily basis.

My darts need me to drop in a few flies, mist the viv a few times a day (now automatically with a monsoon) and an occasional waste pick up. Added plants, spring-tails, and good lighting, have my darts on a all day adventure and since they are very bold, they rarely run off and hide while someone is viewing them.
I'm getting more darts!
That's exactly my point. By the sheer nature of them being bold and awake in the daytime makes them the ideal beginner frog right up there with firebellies. All we need to do is properly educate people on the proper setup and how to maintain them in a consistent fashion. Consistency is the key with them. But its not hard to do.
