Hi Ed, originally was going to house a Lygodactylus luteopicturatus trio, but due to a deal falling through I have decided to go with dart frogs instead.



So, at the request of Phil -

YouTube - Dart Frog vivarium (you may want to kill your sound as the clicking of my autofocus is REALLY annoying!)

Cheers

Andy

That looks really fantastic!

Quick question for you. The piece of bark you have on the left with the plant in the top.....did you silicone the bark in place?

I think that would work well in my wtf viv but not sure how you go about securing it. Thanks

Yep!
After the main soil went in, I siliconed the cork bark 'half tube' to the side. Then, once dry, I filled it with soil and added the plant. Its a little drier in there but a regular water seems to be working fine. It also gives a little 'hide' behind it, between the cork and the background.

Cheers

Andy

Ah ha - thats the true genius you see!

It is composed of 'bioactive' substrate. This means it is seeded with hundreds of micro-organisms and a number of tropical woodlouse species and spring tails etc. They will consume and digest the frog waste, converting it into nitrogenous compounds that will feed the plants!


They will also provide food for the frogs! = no cleaning out!


....now that's magic!


Cheers

Hold often do you replenish the woodluse and springtail stock to stop the frogs from avin all of em or will they breed well in there?

When do your first frogs go in?
