Your Poison Dart Frogs
are best fed a variety of small insects. These can include
fruit flies, aphids and beetles. Small crickets also work
well except if you buy in bulk, because they will be too large
by the time your frog can eat them all. |

Most dart frogs prefer a temperature
of between 74 degrees F and 82 degrees F. A temperature drop
of a few degrees is beneficial during the night.
80% to 100% humidity is recommended for most dart frogs although
your species may have specific requirements. |

Adult poison dart frogs prefer
a spacious enclosure with a tropical climate. Althought, it
is important that the terrarium is not too large for juvenile
dart frogs because they will not be able to easily find their
food.
In their natural habitat they make their home in the damp
leaves on the forest floor. When choosing a substrate keep
this in mind to make them as comfortable as possible. |
