viv advice

[tina b]

ok i have an empty viv which i used to house some dart frogs in but ive relocated the darts and have this very nice heavily planted viv which i wanna transfer my milk frogs into...
prob is im not 100% sure its ok to do this as them being different types of frogs its not as if i can sterilise the viv as i said its heavily planted its been empty a few weeks now but still sprayed daily cause of the plants
any thoughts ??
darts were healthy no disease ect and captive bred.....

Might be worth changing the top couple of inches of substrate, but if the frogs were healthy, I wouldn't expect a problem.

No substrate in there it's all peat bricks covered with moss but I could throw a layer of something down but the milks hardly ever use the bottom of the viv anyway so I think it's gonna be ok like I said all frogs are healthy and can't find anything on the tinternet about viv changes ect

The two main worries are parasites and toxins- the first seems to be ruled out, and CB dartfrogs aren't all that toxic anyway.
