Dart Frogs and feeding

[Tom Highum]

Small Dart frogs and babies love springtails. And they are considered easy to culture. The darts will probably die if you forget to dust their food

Probably? I can practically gurantee that to happen if their food is not dusted.

Culturing fruit flies is a necessary evil if you want to keep darts as is dusting.

Although variety is best, it is possible to raise many dart frog species just on crickets and without fruit flies. Even the smaller species will eat crickets if they are young enough.

If I came up with a contraption that the crickets can get in and out of with the vitamine dust inside, but the frogs can not get into inside the terrarium will that work?

Fruit flies and springtails are extremely easy to breed and feed. In the beginning get premixed FF media and use that till you are comfortable. Other alternatives are pea aphids, bean beetles, termites, and for larger darts roaches.

Fruit flies are very easy to breed in large quantities, I used to breed thousands when I was teaching genetics, the problem was stopping them!
