Hey all. I’m an avid keeper of exotic animals. I have lizards, scorpions, tarantulas, mantids etc. But this is my first amphibian. I picked up a waxy monkey tree frog (Phyllomedusa Sauvagei). I’ve always kept my animals as fully bio active as I can and try to feed in a naturalistic way by...

I've seen some posts around here talkin' about dendrocare and repashy calcium plus but they're nowhere to be seen in the shop I buy most of the terrarium related stuff at. Before I search for 'em in more faraway places I wanna know if the supplements i give to my brown anole would be suitable...

Hello everyone. I have a 40 gallon setup with 2 Dendrobates Auratus housed in it. I’ve done some research and my general question is basically what time of day is best to feed my dart frogs. I read somewhere that evening time is best. I typically work from 5-10 so I leave the house at 4:30. I...

I had a few questions about feeding froglets: 1: is vitamin A necessary? I've gotten conflicting answers on this. The general consensus seems to be it isn't necessary for froglets, but won't hurt adult frogs. If this is the case, at what point should I begin to supplement with it? 2: I notice...

3 3 Leuc Juveniles. One of them really likes to hang out on the left side of my tank. I was worried the fella in the first pic was looking thin. They aren’t very active, although I guess it’s to be expected because they’re fairly new. I feed them a lot. I know sphagnum carpeting isn’t ideal, I...

How many flies should I feed three leuc juveniles? In terms of number of flies, or tablespoons, or whatever. I was planning on maybe a tablespoon every day for the three when they're juveniles? Lemme know what you think

Hi All, Last month I bought my first dart frogs so I'm new to the hobby, I've been doing research for a while before I got them and set up a 24x18x18 bio-active tank for 2 black and blue auratus frogs, with springtails as a microfauna, All seems to going well except that one of my dart frogs...

When I came home yesterday I discovered one of my pacific tree frog tadpoles had transformed into a little froglet! I set him up in his own terrarium so that he wouldn’t be stuck in the water. currently he still has his tail and I have not gotten him to eat yet. I’ve heard that froglets don’t...

Do I just bought a dart frog from this trash pet shop because I could not find them anywhere else. However, I was slightly worried that they were skinny but I thought it may be because they we’re froglets in a ten gallon planted and we’re having a hard time finding food. I have since moved him...

So from what I understand, young frogs should be fed daily, and mature frogs get fed more like 3-4 times per week. But how do you know when to start transitioning the feeding schedule? I have 3 auratus that I got as tiny froglets in late October. They are 2-3x the size they were when I got...

Now that it is lightly freezing at night in my region, I notice that the poison frogs are eating less. Until recently I fed them daily. For some time now every two days. There are enough fruit flies daily. Should I maybe stretch it to 3 days? It is 72F during the day and 66F at night. Thank you.

I have two F1 yellow back Dendrobates Tinctorius froglets and I’m struggling with feeding them. From what all I have read you should feed them every three days, mine won’t eat every three days but if I wait longer they eat, they go almost a week or so between feeding and it honestly worries me...

I've gotten fruit flies from 3 different vendors but nothing seems to help. My fruit flies keep becoming capable of flying again within a few weeks. Is there any way to prevent this?

Hello everyone! I currently have 4 leuc froglets in a 35 gallon hex tank (temporarily; once I have a pair of confirmed males, I'll only be keeping those two in this tank). They all seem to have staked out little territories and I don't see them interact with each other much, but I'm concerned...

Hello everyone my name is Corey and I am new to keeping poison dart frogs. I have just one frog at the moment ( dendrobates auratus) housed in a 40 gallon breeder tank. The tank temperature is kept at about 75 degrees and humidity stays around 85%. My question is in regards to feeding my frog...

Hi all, I have a particularly shy frog who sometimes doesn't emerge to eat until hours after I feed, by which time the flies have cleaned most of the supplement dust off their bodies. I use a banana slice as a feeding station, and was thinking about sprinkling a little bit of supplement...

Ahoy, dendomateys! Total beginner here (I actually don't even have any of my setup yet, just doing lots of research) so I'll probably be posting here a lot in the coming weeks and months. My first question is about invertebrate cultures. It seems like a lot of advice I can find online is...

Hi guys, I have been keeping my juvenile ranitomeya vanzolinii for two weeks now. Everything is going good, even my dad wants one for the terrarium I built for his home that currently has no inhabitant. However, I have two questions: 1) What other sources of food besides fruitflies and...
