Frog update!

Hello all! I’m pleased to say that the frog that has been acting off has been moved into their new habitat and is acting fine now. I think it is fair to say the fertilizer beads were making him act weird, and after about a week moving him over he is back to eating normally and is acting fine. Thank you all for your input!

I know people have asked about snails and frogs together before but...

I've heard the warnings about them eating plants but my plants are growing very fast to the point that I would actually like some help controlling the growth as well as some of the algae growth on the cork wood. Right now I have 4 snails in a quarantine box that came on a flower arrangement, the largest is about 1" across but all 4 are too large for the frogs to attempt to eat. Is there any danger to adding these to my 40 gallon enclosure or is this just a bad idea?

Here's a picture of the big one if someone can identify it.

Mississippi anyone?

Hi all, is there anyone in Mississippi who keeps dart frogs? I feel like I’ll be the only one in this whole state. 🙁 It doesn’t seem like there are many breeders in my surrounding states either.

Thrips in the vivarium!

I’ve just realized that I have thrips on African violets in my viv. I can remove and treat the violets, but I’ve no doubt I’ll be leaving plenty of thrips behind, making their homes in the dozens of other plants in the viv. I’ve got 7 dart frogs in there, it’s heavily planted, with tons of little hidey holes so id never be able to get them out to treat the tank. Any ideas or success stories and sage advice out there for me? I fear these thrips could be captain tripps for my plants.

Leaky mister fitting

Is there a trick to stop these (John guest?) fittings from leaking? I made sure the tube end was cut flat.

Recommendations on space heater

Hey just seeing if anyone has any rec's for a space heater for my frog room. I was using the govee space heater but now it being recalled... I'm looking for a space heater that can be controlled via an app and also will shut off when the room hits the desired temperature. Thank you in advance!

18×18×24

I have an 18×18× 24 would this be enough space to house a pair of Ranitomeya imitator frogs? I've been trying to do research about them. But this is the tank i was gifted. I just want for them to have PLENTY of room to run around in, and not be cramped. Any tips for floara/decor would be great too! i WILL NOT be adding a water feature for this tank, as this will take up a lot of room. I will probably do a misting system.

Cold climate?

I asked this on another sub but since I’m really interested in Dart Frogs I am interested to know how those who live in cold climates handle it? My apartment gets cold due to bad insulation and such, when home we keep it comfortable at around 68-70 but turn it down when not home to around 64-66 to save on heating. Anyone who has darts in similar situations have any issues maintaining the right enclosure temps? Anything you do specifically to combat the colder room temps?

What do mantellas feel like?

I've had my frogs for about 4 or 5 days now and they're finally coming out of their shells and the want to pet them is strong 😭

These are the first pets I've had that I can't touch but god I just wanna know what they feel like, are they slimy? Smooth? Snail like?

I've been spending most of my days just staring at them longingly, I didn't think the urge to pet would be this bad.

Has anyone built a vivarium thatthat has a backdrop that is essentially just some form or trellis?

Hi I am an aspiring dart frog owner and I have been thinking about what my ideal set up would be and was wondering about the possibility of using passion flower in my tank to form a back wall I'd also like to see about adding some other prey spicies in such as leaf hoppers, small roaches and mites I've been researching ladybugs and trying to figure out if they would be a good option for population controll if I need them (there will be more posting about this at some point but feel free to give me any input you have and we can have a conversation thanks in advance) anyway I'm hoping that a relived back wall may help give some of the prey insects a refuge to some extent and possibly help a sustainable prey population grow

Feeding dart frogs?

Hi! I wanted to get some dart frogs, but was wondering about feeding. Do you guys use tongs, a bowl, or just kinda let the fruit flies walk around the enclosure?
