I am new to dart frogs, and have never owned any before. However, I am not new to frogs. I have 3 phyllomedusa Hypochondrialis (tiger-leg monkey frogs) a red eye tree frog, a trio of whites tree frogs, a horned frog,2 GTFs,and snakes,dragons,tarantulas,etc. But I am looking into possibly getting one or two of a species. I was looking at a fairly easier and good beginner species and was told Leucomas,and Auratus' may be good for me. I dont have access to fruit fly cultures,but i dont work in a pet store where i can get 2 week old crickets supplied to me regularly. Will those frogs eat those crix? It would be convenient for me, yes but whatever the frogs need they shall get. But i just watned to ask before i get the frogs,which will be at the show on the 15-16 in valley frog,PA next month.if all goes through well of course.thanks.

Adult frogs might take 2 week old crickets but for froglets, you'll 2-3 day old crickets or fruit flys.
Leucomelas will NOT take 2 week old crickets regularly
Phyllobates & Epipedobates will eat bigger food items, but will still need smaller food items until they get a little older. don't get your hopes up too much about the Valley Forge show. it only has a couple people selling frogs, but there are otehr cool animals there as well. i have some frogs for sale as well, some that are adults and i live in PA... so emial me if you might be interested: underautumnskies@aol.com goodluck-jon
Hi,
I have some orange bicolors that will eat them and also some P.Vittatus that do also.How are your Hypos doing?
Mark W.
hi mark!my hypos are doign awesome.thinking about putting them all together again sooner then i planned,theyre doing so well. biggest is 1.5 inches,smallest 1 1/8. How is the general care of those frogs you mentioned? I really would like some darts,they were always next on my list,but always getting bumped by another new deal (ex.-hypos!) id appreciate any help! Its not that im tryign to aviod feeding FFs,i just dont have the resources for them,and 2wk crix would be much much easier for me since i get them for nothing,and have access to them everyday. let me know.
