dendrobates
hi ,
I've read your post asking what frogs will suit your viv etc you say your viv is tall?? as dart frogs (dendrobates) require a terrestrial vivaruim not an arboreal set up darts' prefer to have lots of floor space in other words. I dont as yet have these beautiful little creatures but i indend to one day im just apprehensive about it as they are very high maintainance and expensive I've read lots of different care sheets for them and i think the FAQ one is good.
These small frogs are fairly territorial and do best in a large terrarium. A 15-gallon tank would be adequate for a group of 4 adults. They require a well-planted woodland type set-up with a substrate of bark chips or topsoil covered with live moss. Furnishings such as logs, cork bark and live plants (Ferns, Bromeliads, Tillandsia, Orchids) can be arranged to provide a number of climbing, perching and hiding places. A large shallow water bowl (no deeper than the frog's height at rest) must be provided with clean de-chlorinated or spring water. The water will need to be changed daily to avoid the build up of ammonia and bacteria in the water whilst changing the water it is a good idea to visually inspect the tank and remove, clean and replace any soiled items. The tank will need to be heated to a daytime temperature of 28-30°C with a drop at night to 25-26°C this can be done with an under-tank heat-mat controlled by a thermostat. It is not advisable to use spot / heat lamps with amphibians and so a separate light source should be provided by the means of a fluorescent UVB tube. Once every two-three weeks the tank and its contents should be completely cleaned and sterilized using an amphibian / reptile friendly disinfectant.
