Can I Feed my Dart Frogs With Crickets From the Local Pet Store, or do They Need Some Special Food?
Dart frogs are of course fairly small, and on top of that, they are adapted to eat a very small prey. Unfortunately very few pet stores carry the correct size cricket to feed dart frogs, and if you happen to be one of the lucky ones who does live near enough to a pet store that carries the week old crickets that the frogs need, you will find that the cricket habit is an expensive one! While the size of the cricket a dart frog can eat is quite small, the frogs appetite is not! I would estimate that a growing or adult dart frog could easily consume 100 to 200 crickets in a week, give or take a few. As you may be guessing by now, feeding your dart frogs is probably the single biggest obstacle to over come in order to be successful keeping them. However there is a fairly easy solution, and that is culturing flightless fruit flies. Flight less fruit flies are easy to culture, and relatively inexpensive. They also put you in charge of your own food supply, so you are not reliant on a pet sto
