I was looking around on the int. the other day and saw a site sellin dart frogs. they look reely cool and to have a viv that they need would be awesome. those of you that own them or have owned them, how are they as pets? are they easy to care for, hard? any comments would be great.:main_thumbsup:

never had any but looked into them quite a few times, from what I remember they are pretty easy for some of them and some are much harder like any animal. And the females tend to be the dominant of the species so you need to be careful about that. Ill see if I kept all of the links I had stored up.

They are really cool little guys i've looked into getting them a bunch of times since my friend has a pair the reason why im straying away though is havving to deal with the friutflies. They are supposed to be easy to culture but i think id forget to do it sometimes and then lose all of them. If you have cresties or some other animal that needs higher humidity they shouldn't be too bad because you have to mist them 2-3 times a day, and their setup is little to know maintnence at all with a complete change out of everything, every 6 monnths

We got a couple of dart frogs last year. They are easy to care for and fun to watch. I bought a pre-planted vivarium for them, so they really have been incredibly easy.

Fruit flies are very, very easy to maintain. Just set up a new culture when you get your fruit flies. Then, when you are ready to start using that new culture, set up another new one first. As long as you always do that, you'll always have plenty. Don't forget to dust with calcium before feeding to the frogs! Our frogs know that when I spray their tank, they can expect food to appear and usually come running!

Have fun with them!

Great Advice here ..... Research a ton ..

I have a few vivs set up for them and out of all of our animals the Darts are the easiest to keep....
