Awesome build. Thank you for sharing. How cool to have them last eggs too!!! I'm TOTALLY new to dart frogs and honestly scared to death of the spray foam, but figure it really is the nicer look. I notice you don't silicone the edges of the foam to the glass. Is that just a personal preference? Thanks!! Any suggestions are welcome!!!

Great vid ! Any tips for rantiomeya breeding?

@NorthernFrogger Жыл бұрын

Heavy feeding and misting, give them lots of different options for egg laying and tadpole raising sites, and try not to disturb them too much.

@aj9752 3 жыл бұрын

Is the mesh small enough to stop melonagasters Getting through ? My experience with exo terra is even Hydei can get through also the slots for all the misting system and other stuff seam they might let flies to get out ? That's why we use euro style Viv's here in the UK ,it would be good if they're escape proof cos they look great

@NorthernFrogger 3 жыл бұрын

They probably aren't totally escape proof, it looks like there are a couple spots that melanogasters may be able to escape... I haven't noticed any getting out yet, but I only the released the frogs in there the day before the video release so I haven't had a ton of time to evaluate that yet...

I just purchased a dendrobates auratus from reptile expo and he’s been in the same spot not even moving doesn’t really eat is there something wrong with him? I heard that transporting dart frogs can stress them also and how long does it take for them to get use to their new enclosure??

@NorthernFrogger 3 жыл бұрын

It can take a little while to adjust to a new home, and some auratus can be quite shy at the best of times... Normally I would say don't worry too much but if he's not eating that's a bit concerning... Are you sure he's not eating? Sometimes shy frogs will be hesitant to eat if they know they're being watched... Does he look skinny?

@jerryv4717 3 жыл бұрын

@@NorthernFrogger when I first got the lil guy, when I 1st placed him in its new enclosure he was eating my springtails, after awhile I gave him fruitflies he wasn't interested, and on the 2nd day he just completely stopped eating, no springtail or fuitfly and yes he did lost a bit weight, all the dart frogs that was at the show was all skinny, so I grabbed the most average weight sized one and I was hoping to see joshs frogs but ig they didn't come so I was stuck wit the other vendors

Can different species of dart frogs cohabitate in the same enclosure

@NorthernFrogger Жыл бұрын

I think it's possible if done properly, but there are lots of issues with it like the risk of hybridization and stress from territorial aggression. In most cases it's probably more trouble than it's worth and I recommend against it.
