I was wondering if anyone knew the success rate of Bonsai Trees in a Dart Frog Vivarium, or if they are safe plants to keep with Dart Frogs at all. I can't seem to find any consistent information in my research. I can't imagine Junipers being very successful, as I familiar with keeping both Juniper Bonsais and Dart Frogs, and their care requirements vary and are at times quite opposite. But with care/maintenance and all that aside, are they safe for Dart Frogs? Can they harm them in any way? I know theres other kinds of Bonsai Trees, but the Juniper and the Ficus Bonsai are the only two I can think of... and though I can't see the Juniper worth the hassle to make it work, the Ficus Bonsai might... as long as isn't toxic/harmful to the frogs in anyway.

Anyone ever tried this? Anyone ever heard of anyone trying this? Success Stories? Fail Stories?
Or maybe you're just better at searching the web than I seem to be at the moment, LoL.

Thanks for putting up with my questions, and thanks for any input or information, in advance!

I too have worked with bonsai, and most would be ill-suited to dart frog vivaria, to say the least! That said, with proper lighting and a very large vivarium, ficus bonsai just might work.
