| Frogs! |
| Some information on frogs I had
from 1998 - 2005. |
| Notes |
May 9, 2000 - I noticed the
frogs calling a few weeks ago. They usually
do this around 5:30pm everyday. One time they started calling about
7:30pm. Today, they were calling around 10:29am for a few minutes and
then again an hour or so later. Hopefully one day soon I'll figure out
a way to sample their calls and add them to the website for everyone to
hear.
July 30, 2000 - I bought a smaller Cobalt (Dyeing) Poison-Dart Frog.
January 9, 2001 - I went to the pet store today to buy
a
Red-Eyed Tree Frog. I kinda went home with two babies! - Purchased from
The Aquarium Center in Randallstown, Maryland (I buy a lot from them).
*Update* The Red-Eyes are now in a 30 gallon tank.
May 26, 2001 - I am almost finished preparing a 6 foot tall by 3 foot
long by 1.5 foot wide tank for more poison-dart frogs. I bought the
tank and stand for only $150 from House of Tropicals because the bottom
of it was busted out and the stand had some water damage. The tank and
stand were stained a hidious color. I fixed the bottom of the tank with
some Silicone Aquarium Seal, and stained the tank and stand a Red
Mahogany. I had to replace one of the doors (It broke when I moved).
That was only about $24.
January 5, 2004 - I purchased a
bi-color poison frog a couple of years ago and it was apparently
diseased. Due to this, my six foot poison frog tank is now a
wonderfully exspensive habitat to three sugar gliders. |

Tank |
Here's how the tank started out.
Then I gave it some friends...
A few plants (including about 6 air plants) and eventually, after
waiting forever for it to come in, I got some moss for the tank!
Another view.
This picture is of the tank with the fountain still in it.
The day I got my second frog I decided to see why the fountain wasn't
pushing water out as strong as it used to. Well it's a good thing I did
this, because I discovered that the whole area under the fountain (and
of course the rest of the tank) was flooded.
A new look!
So I took the fountain out, moved their house (which they don't use
much now) over to the other side of the tank, and added a piece of bark
in the back (which is where they spend most of their time).
Here's another view.

| Diet |
I feed my Poison Frogs a diet of
flightless fruit-flies (although they seem to fly just fine), and
10-day-old crickets (which seem to be just the right size). I dust the
crickets in Herptivite (multivitamins) and Calcium with VIT.D3.
*Note* When feeding frogs, use live food just smaller than the size of
their mouth from end to end.
*Note* It is worth it to feed your crickets a healthy diet! What they
take in, the frogs will take in! |
