Hi all, dart frog newbie here. I'm a teacher at a public high school in the Bay, and my students and I have spent the past several months setting up a bioactive vivarium for azureus frogs. We finally got our frogs about 2 weeks ago (the students named them Tide Pod and Bob the Baddie), and...

I searched the forum about warning too many flies, but I couldn't find any posts about how to fix the problem. I got one vanzolinii a few days ago but I fed what I thought was 20 flies (as recommended by a breeder) but now day 2 there's still a ton of flies left in his quarantine bin, which is...

Is it safe to completely change the substrate of a quarantine tank every day? Or is the daily moving procedure too much stress for the frogs? My African reed frogs (hyperolius concolor) finally came in and I'm looking to quarantine them. They were wild caught so I'm assuming they're going to...

Never had a dart frog or reptile of any kind, and looking to keep two leucs or auratus. I thought I'd check with the internet before buying them I’m planning to use a 24x18x24 terrarium. I'll have a false bottom (drainable), and coconut fiber on top (with leaf scatter). I'll have a wall on the...

Hello anybody who may come across this thread! After doing some online research, it seems that there is no true standard, or even majority preference, to quarantine tank design other than sphagnum and pothos. I would love to see everybody's QT designs. I plan on posting mine when I get home.

I have some plants i just pruned out of my vivariums and rooted them. How long or what should i do to make sure they are ok to use in a new set up.

I need some suggestions. I acquired two Azureus froglets that were probably 4-5 weeks out of water. I got them from a local breeder and drove them home. the trip was only 15 minutes. I put them in a quarantine tank, which is just a plastic sweater box with coco fiber, leaf litter, and a coco...
