Nice!
You inspired me to get a group of these, back at the beginning of this thread. I have one new froglet out and about today, too.

Wonderful! Did you leave it in the tank with the parents or rear it yourself? I pulled mine and reared it.Nice!

I leave all my Ranitomeya in with the parents. I'm raising a group of 22 leucomelas tads (about half morphed now), and really, really appreciate frogs that raise their own kids.

Nice! I don't have that option with my R. Uakarii, unfortunately.I leave all my Ranitomeya in with the parents. I'm raising a group of 22 leucomelas tads (about half morphed now), and really, really appreciate frogs that raise their own kids.
Any future Ranitomeya that I get need to rear their own kids ;-)

Found another 3-5 eggs today, 3 of them for sure look good. Going to leave these with the parents. I'm interested to see the parental care

Me too... I'm interested to watch the parental care with these guys. Luckily I'm at home most of the day now and made my home office area in the frog room.I smile every time I see my frogs carrying.

I've recently changed up the lighting and misting for this tank. I switched to a less bright light which is an led plant light, but the floodlight bulb style. I've Increased the misting schedule as well. The frogs are much more visible now than they used to be. They hide a lot less and spend way more time foraging for food.

I actually ended up pulling the tadpoles yesterday. I decided I didn't really want to have to hunt for them when it's time for them to get rehomed.

Had the tads started eating eggs yet? I ask because I had read that switching them off eggs sometimes doesn't work (that is, the tads stop eating). I'd be curious to have more info on whether that is true.

I'm not sure, I'd seen the frogs climbing around the tadpole water dishes but nothing I associated as egg laying We'll see how it turns out

2 more tads today, deposited into cups of water by the male
And see one of the adults foraging for food.
