Husbandry

The sheet matches the animal on the rack.

Real husbandry for the animals we keep — heat, humidity, enclosure, diet — plus terrarium setup and the breeding projects we have run. When you take an animal home we go through it again at the counter.

Dart frog

Dendrobatidae

Vivarium animals. Captive-bred, fruit-fly keepers, not a handling pet.

Handling
Never. This is a planted tank you watch.
Enclosure
A bioactive vivarium, not a critter keeper. Leaf litter, plants, drainage, a glass front.
Heat
72–78°F. They overheat in a sunny window.
Humidity
80–100% with air movement. A stagnant box kills them as surely as a dry one.
Diet
Springtails, fruit flies, small insects. You are keeping a culture, not a pet-store cricket.

Captive-bred here or by people the shop will stand behind. Call before you drive for a named morph.
