Dart Frog Feeding Question.

[dr greenlove]

Just a quick question for those who know such things.

I am thinking of getting a poison frog (or 2 or 3), i have read that they have large apetites...but just what does this translate to.

Just how many crickets/flies etc would need to be fed at each feed time and just how many times per day would this have to be done?


Thanks

Feed the frogs 15-20 crickets per day, EVERY day. It is especially important with feeding froglets. I feed my baby terribilis around 25-30 daily each... and I am still considering upping the feeders.
Make sure you dust with a good supplement. The best ones are Rep-Cal Calcium with D3 (ultra fine grade) every feeding with herptivite a few times per week. Miner-All is alright..... but watch out for expired containers. Stay away from Fluker supplements, Herpcare, and Zoo-meds reptivite. They are all crap in my opinion.
