Blue dart frog

  • #21
"Jeremiah, wouldn't it be easier to feed him something bigger? Do crickets or mealworms not work? Just wondering..."

Yeah it would but these are very small frogs they are about 1 inch (they get about 1 1/2 to 2 inches) so I would have to feed the 1/16 to 1/8 inch crickets. No pet store near me sells them that small so I would have to order them. I would have to get 500 to 1000 at once so a lot of them would be to big by the time I was ready to feed them. Fruit flies are really not that hard to culture so I will just do that for now.

thanks for the idea

That is a beautiful little frog Jeremiah. I have been fortunate enough to spend quite a bit of time in the cloud forests of Costa Rica where a number of species of "dart" frogs are part of the ecosystem. I have seen the famous "Golden Arrow" frog a number of times but that was over fifteen years ago and alas they are probably extinct by now. I was there again last may and the frogs population has crashed...no one knows why.
The whole area is a huge tourist draw now and I suspect that is the reason...along with collecting.

Great looking frogs, and great pictures.
I always wanted to try keeping dart frogs before. I almost bought some several times when I was at reptile shows and they had them for good prices.

I wanted to try growing poison dart frogs, but i just found out that keeping any exotic animal in PR is considered illegal. I guess that i'll have to be content with your pictures and the little tree frogs that inhabit my backyard.
