I picked up four little mint terribilis from Mark Pepper at UnderstoryEnterprises. They are great little frogs and am so happy that I can witness them grow and become healthy adult (hopefully breeding) frogs. This is the second tank I have built. The waterfall had to be turned off because the frogs are too small.

Very cool frogs, bold as they come...

Nice frogs, and great setup. Just i would be woried about them not being able to find food in that large enclosure.

Great frogs!

I am planning to buy frogs from Marc very soon.

Why do you have to turn the waterfall off? Was the flow that high?

I am a bit concerned about the size of my enclosure however, I don't know the size of your tank but mine is close to 150 Gallons. If you have troubles feeding your frogs then I might have a problem.

I have to agree with Ryan, they are still pretty small watch them closely to make sure that they are all feeding. I used to hate keeping new frogs in a shoebox..... especially since I put so much time into building the enclosure. Now I keep all frogs in quarentine for 30 days and froglets in shoeboxes for 60 days. Good luck, they are great frogs!

Very cool ortega; nice to see another ontarian here. You close to Mississauga?

Marks a great guy, and his frogs are top notch quality. Your tank also looks awesome; how large?

thanks for the compliments everybody. They are extreemly bold frogs, and I think that is why feeding them has not been a problem. When I feed they do not hide, so I just drop flies around them and they eat right away. I have been trying to do this 2 to 3 times a day to assure they eat enough and that they are all eating. My tank is a 33g. I had to turn off the waterfall because it is rather robust and I do not want to take any chances with my little guys. Hey Moe, I live in Brampton but I work in Mississauga. Ron Jung lives in Toronto but I do not know anyone else around here (I bought off Mark at the expo). I am just starting out with dart frogs and am enjoying this hobby very much.

Very nice looking viv! Your frogs look nice (and fat), too! Is that some type of orchid over there on the right side? Is it faring well?

 

[Guest]

yes it is an orchid, thanx for noticing. There is no flower because I bought it that way for a third of the price. I do not know anything about orchids, but I was told it will bloom again in a month or two. I cut the old stem down to 2" and placed the roots ontop of a wood peice and covered it in moss. Hope this is going to work. I also have staghorn fern in there. I know it will grow very large but it looks real good right now. All the moss was picked from a forest near my house (I am hoping it does not need a winter season to survive).

 

[Moe]

Just a suggestion; id try and get better lighting in there. Your plants will fare better.

If it doesnt contact me about moss, i am willing to help out in that department.

I am getting a new light fixture from work on Monday. It's a 24" bulb and I think that it should do the trick.
