poison dart frogs

[kearth]

could you elaborate, I am interested now too. I did not know about the crickets and liver problems and both places where I have worked fed only crickets. Should I try and bring this up and get it changed?

yes personally I would talk with them about switching to a mainly fruit fly diet. I am not saying the occasional crickets are bad but as a main diet the frogs tend to live shorter lives and become obese. Along with that, frogs fed only crickets usually show some signs of liver or kidney disease.

Also if you can talk them into it I would happily send you some cultures and supplies to get you / them started.

Each type of frog has a different personality. Some being bolder then others. Some being extremely shy. The stress from being crammed into a small conatiner/ tank with a tank mate that they would never even see in the wild causes loss of appetite, listlessness and everntually death.

A pair of frogs can be kept in a 10-15 gal tank. But more room is always better

It is not good to mix any of those. Technically it is not good to mix any dart frogs.

Those are

Dendrobates Patricias tinctorius
Dendrobates new river tinctorius.

Most of mine are breeding. Just found 2 el dorado clutches last night
