Don't do it man,

I have kept ATB's for a while, and I had a few hatchlings that wouldn't eat anything. I tried everything...or so I thought. I tried small birds, mice, bird scented mice, mouse scented birds, chicken, anoles, and quite a few other things. One day, I realized that I hadn't tried frogs. I caught a few green tree frogs in the woods, and the second the snakes saw them, they pigged out. That was the only thing that they would ever eat, despite my best efforts to switch them over to mice. Now,I'm in no way saying that I'm an experienced keeper, but based on my experience, I would say no to mixing ATB's and dart frogs...or any frogs. They are primarily bird eaters, but they are also very opportunistic feeders, and will usually eat what is available to them, but some individuals are strangely specialized to certain diets.
