Default Large Darts

What are some of the dart frogs that get big. Im looking for darts that can take 1/2" crickets. I've heard of terribilis but are they very good for beginners and in general what kind of personality do they have.

Terribilis is a very good starter frog. And yes, they will probably accept crickets of that size. They are quite bold, and are voracious eaters.

How active are they and how do they do in groups. Also do Surinam Cobalts get very big.

Cobalts will get almost the same size as the terribillis, but will not take nearly the size of food the terribillis will.

I have two groups of three terribilis. They do great together and are extremely active allowing you to witness and enjoy their various behaviours. Same is true for bicolors, IMO.

Bicolors and auroteanias will also take up to half in crickets. They, and terribilis, not only make up the top 3 most toxic PDFs, but are also plenty bold, and great beginner frogs!

I was referring to adult size, froglets cannot take those sizes, way to big (tho they'd probibly try). You might be able to track down some near adult to adult sized mints, but the others? you'd have to raise the froglets on hydeo them move them up.

Could froglets take 1/16" roaches. Im thinking of starting up a roach colony for my geckos. Also would 1/16" be too big for froglet tincs.
