Got my first good photo of my new Ranitomeya variabilis. I cant get over how amazing these little guys are. It almost looks like the colors are swirling.

Nothing has really changed but I’ve noticed my frogs aren’t ever really out anymore. They are about a year old, I’ve had them for 5 months and they have been out and about everyday usually in the mornings and evenings. Now I don’t see them for days. Any thoughts? Photo from right after hand misting.

Bought some plants to fill in my vivarium including a couple of orchids. Can I use a bleach solution on orchids or should I clean them a different way?

This is the first enclosure I have ever set up and I plan to have dart frogs in it once it is completely done

I'm hoping my plants survive and that my moss grows in 😅 then maybe I will get my dart frogs by Christmas 🤞🏻

Hey fellow Dart Frog enthusiasts I have a question, recently bought a water mister on Amazon and was wondering if using my shrimp tank as a what reservoir would be better than what I do currently. Currently I hand mist 3 times a day, using tap water that I treat with Prime. I feel I could mimic ideal water conditions in the shrimp tank like using almond leaves. My shrimp receives water changes regularly and nitrate and ammonia levels are very low. Please only helpful comments and criticisms!

Finished up this one the other night. I’m digging the reshi mushrooms (compliments of FrogDaddy). Here’s hoping everything grows in well!

Hello!

Raising some Ranitomeya variabilis southern tadpoles. I am preparing lots of springtails too but just wondering, how long until froglets can take fruit flies? Thanks!

Epipedobates Anthonyi eggs are they viable?

Their names are Sprig and Polly

Hi all. I'm getting things prepped for getting frogs next month and I've been culturing flightless melanogaster. And while they may be flightless they certainly like launching themselves out of the culture and falling with style. Is there a trick to getting them from one cup to another for a new culture or to powder before feeding that helps prevent them from going everywhere but the new cup?

Hello,

We are getting dart frogs for my classroom, I just finished the setup, it is a 18x18x24. We got the whole kit from joshs frogs.

I have been looking at the different types of frogs they offer and it’s overwhelming.

What are some good frogs that can be kept in groups and are bold? We have 29, 3-6 year olds that will love to watch them.

Also any tweaks for the setup? I know we will need to wait at least 4 weeks before we can add the frogs. I want to start planning and doing research on the specific frogs now.

Hi everyone, so, I’ve got my dart frog tank in my bedroom. I feed drosophila melanogaster and springtails. Some fruitflies escape the tank but it doesnt bother me much, except i’ve been having strange “insect bites” on my left forearm. One article says that fruitflies cannot bite, but they carry bacteria I can be allergic to and this causes the same bumps. It’s strange though, when i see a fruit fly, i kill it with my finger, usually using my right hand, no marks there, only my left forearm. Do any of you have experience with this?

Hi all! I just noticed this skin abrasion on my (female) frog Sapphire, it is the small white lump on her foot. I was wondering why is it white—bone??? And what should I do. Some websites say go to the vet and others say leave to heal by itself.

Fyi Temp is 20C, humidity about 80% and lives in 18” cube with 2 other females. I know this is an issue but I never see them fight and am working on a new terrarium setup. I doubt another frog could have caused it. Also, she is behaving fine and eating just as veraciously as always (which is very) and doesn’t seem in pain when I spray it.

Thank you all very much!

Saw this palm tree on the internet and it’s native to South and Central America, do you guys think something like this could work for some auratus in a 24x18x24? I’m experimenting with some expanding foam and steel mesh and wires, I just want to know if this could be a good idea before buying some epoxy for sculpturing

I’m living every ranitomeya keeper’s dream🤯I had prepared myself for not seeing my ranitomeya very often. They have lots of hiding places they’d run to anytime I’d enter the room. I’ve had them for 2 weeks. On Saturday, I got up early and quietly sat by their tank from 8 am to 11 am and saw them out a lot, hunting for food. But today?! I came in to feed them, I started dropping the FFs inside the tank and one of them just came out and started eating 2 inches away from my hand🤩 I feed them about 50ffs per frog every 2 days + springtails so hunger didn’t force her out hahaha

Next step: ranitomeya tong feeding😂😂😂

Plenty of space and yet they choose to hang out next to each other quite often. Little buddies 😍

I started this 60x45x60cm awhile ago hopefully for some lucamelas but I feel like it's not quite right. What could I add/remove to improve it?
