People should mention lifespan more often in videos like this. These little guys live a looong time, like 12-15yrs, I believe. It's quite a commitment. Darts are amazing though. I love the enclosures as much as the frogs, the good ones that is.

I need ur opinion man.. i have two poisons and they’re roughly abt 4-6 months old. One of them got huge and is fat, the other one is shy and always hiding and is small skinny and fragile and doesnt move much. Im so scared for the little skinny one, i have her in quartine rn to see if she’ll eat when the other one isnt there. Can you please give me some advice?😢 (i feed them both tiny micro crickets)

Dart frogs is a species I’ve always wanted to keep but have just never dropped the hammer on yet. They’re so beautiful. Great video Adam!

I had an exo terra 12x12x18 laying around & wanted to keep something in it, but I was really limited. It was originally for my crested gecko when she was a baby, & after finding Josh's Frogs I was introduced to the wonderful world of thumbnail dart frogs. I did research on the most bold & beautiful thumbnails & chose R. imitator "Tarapoto". It's been such a joy though there aren't many sources specifically about the smaller guys, especially breeding, which mine started almost immediately. It's a goal of mine to post to KZread about it / my pets :)

Dart Frogs are awesome. I love our Phyllobates vittatus, they are colourful, active and their call is beautiful. Our group of five have been providing us with lots of tadpoles/froglets. To be honest, I love all our frogs: Dendrobates tinctorius, Dendrobates cobalts and Ranitomeya sirensis! 🐸🐸🐸

My favorite dart is the bumblebee! To me they are so cute with their black masked faces and yellow "hats" on top. Ours are quite bold too. Feeding-wise, if you want to look into it, you can try bean beetles. They're easy to keep and gives the darts some variety.

Mine absolotely *hated* the beetles. They would catch them, spit them out and ignore ever after. Bu yes, pinheads are the worst: they get everywhere. So I'll stick to both varieties or fruitflies, aphids etc. (Bioactive bottoms, so they probably snack on the pillbugs as well.)

Good video, I have a very active very bold breeding group of 4 Ranitomeya Variabilis Southern in a 36x18x18, beautiful entertaining species. I'm currently converting an old 35 gallon hex aquarium into a front opening viv (definitely a bit of work pulling off this conversion & setup but I'm happy with how it's coming out) for all the froglets building up lol, think I have around 15 froglets right now and another 20 tadpoles lol.

Thanks! I am about to consider purchasing and starting to learn. The Thumbnails have my heart

Dart frogs are my favourite terrestrial frog! Awesome care guide! Your the best Adam!

Mr. Adam Sir. I keep Dendrobates tinctorius 'Citronella'. I love em. Your video was spot on. When I made up my terrarium using spray foam and dry lock, I added some medicine pill bottles, the red/orange ones you get for prescriptions, and embedded them in the foam. I cut off the back sides, so it was a hollow tube. I embedded them in the foam. The frogs LOVE these as hides. What is really nice, too, is that if you get them flush against the back/side of the terrarium, you can then view them in the hide from the side/back of the terrarium. Gives a neat perspective. I also added a couple of inches of a rock layer, with a substrate barrier in mine. With the humidity that high, it is a good idea. For the humidity, I just used a cheap party fogger that I found on Amazon for $40. Put it on a timer, and it works great. Your content is great. Not too sure about why you felt you had to mention that you shouldn't put dart frogs in your orifices, but whatever. lol Keep up the great work.

Dart Frogs are freaking amazing! There obviously my favorite amphibian and I found this content very helpful!

Love the dart frogs! Great video as always. Will try darts one day.

Awesome to see dart frogs get more coverage! I have to say that at least one of those Azureus looks alarmingly skinny. Of course I don’t know about the background of that frog but I’d definitely separate it from the rest of the group immediately, especially since tinctorius are known to be territorial and bully each other.

I keep dart frogs. I find most of us are really get into the enclosures more than probably any of the other group of pet hobbyists. Probably a third of posts of Facebook groups are about the enclosures themselves.

I call them hopping jewels, unlike hummingbirds are flying jewels,lol. They are so beautiful, and I hope you share more about them in the future. Thanks so much!

So beautiful these little guys are 💜

We have D auratus, and we love them. One of them is actually pretty bold, the other two are newer and younger, and still hide quite a bit. But they are so fun to watch, and they're a major talking point anytime we have company. In addition to fruit flies, we also feed them confused flour beetles, which are incredibly easy to maintain a constant supply of, even easier than fruit flies.
