i recently acquired a pair of red and black walking frogs from a dealer i have gone through before. The only problem is i received one baby and one adult. The two have stayed very close to eachother so far and will not come out of hiding. I was wondering if i should seperate them to monitor the baby's eating habits or keep them together. I have read up on the care of dart frog babies keeping them in a shoe box and with a moist paper towel sustrate and monitoring them. Is this the same for all babies. If anyone has ideas please write back with specifics.
ps. the baby is about the size of an adult dart frog

Hmm... I would seperate them. I know that most frogs will gladly eat anything that's moving, or try to eat it, even if it happens to be a member of their own species. Keeping them together could result in a severed arm or leg; even if they appear OK together, the larger one could bite the smaller one in a feeding frenzy when they're fed.
Just to be safe, I would seperate them. Even adult frogs of the same size and species can injure one another while eating; you know how crazed they are when they're in feeding mode!
