Thanks and happy frogging! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
I never thought I'd be learning about frogs from Jake Gyllenhaal.
Lol 😉
😄 🤣 😂
I Really think these videos are more important to the hobbie than you know. Thank you so much for your hard work and input
I live in the very region where the Reticulated variety was introduced in Honolulu, Hawaii. I see and hear the frogs, their tadpoles almost daily. They are a source of joy to me as they are one of the few species of creatures still here over the years. I will share your informative video with friends and neighbors. Mahalo!
👍 Mahalo is a great, traditional native Hawaiian term for conveying gratitude or esteem. As in Polynesia, we native Delawareans have our own highly unique language. For instance, a traditional Wilmington native sees a fellow passerby, and asks, "hey playa, can I get one of them Newps"? The respondent may answer with, "nahh man, this ain't no Newp. I don't smoke dem menthols! All I gots are Marlboro reds".
But a nearby pedestrian may have heard this conversation, and he could say, "yo pimp, I got that Newp for you". Having received his cigarette, he would likely answer with, "my man, mahalo to you". 😉
I'm currently raising up some auratus tadpoles that I traded for 2 tarantula spiderlings (T. rasti). The first tadpole's second front leg just popped. I'm so excited to see them come out of the water as froglets. This is my first-time raising tadpoles and it's been an extremely interesting and rewarding experience.
Thank you for the videos. Your channel has been a valuable resource for me while learning how to keep dart frogs in the best way possible. I really love these species spotlight style videos too!
Thank you for making this. It's much appreciated. There aren't really many videos if any that go into depth or even touch on the topics of dart frogs overall. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
FINALLY! I’ve been looking for a care guide for this species because I’m about to get my first ever poison dart frogs and I thought these were some of the more “beginner friendly”…I’ve spent WEEKS trying to find a dedicated guide to these guys but I’ve only found guides for other frogs like Tinctorius or Leucemeles (sorry if they’re not spelled right), thank you so much!
Glad you found it useful!
Tincs and leucs are also beginner friendly. My first dart frogs were D. azureus (blue poison dart frog) and they have been a pleasure to keep and learn with. They are so beautiful and bold. They aren't bothered by me watching them feed at all, they will come right to the front of the vivarium and feed. The varying shades of blues with black spots and splotches on them is sooooo pretty too. They almost don't look real lol!
awesome video! Thanks for the information and facts.
Thanks a lot for this very interesting and complete video ;). Can’t wait the next spotlight episode ! 😜🤗
Exactly what i needed, thanks
Thank you for your time and all the videos your collection is vary nice!
Love your videos! They brighten my day and have such great information! Thank you for doing this (:
Great video!
awesome vid
Love your channel! Thanks for all you do to help in the hobby.
My pleasure!
Great video,Josh, Thank you! you are my "to to" channel for most information... As someone else asked, could you please do an episode on thumbnail species?
Here in Brazil some believe that the dendrobates auratus can be found in far north at the Brazil/Venezuela border but that was never confirmed so it is not officially part of their territory!! Here in Brazil we have the dendrobates leucomelas, azureus and tinctorius for sure!!!
Thank you weary healpfull video❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Love it thanks I've been doing research on these species of dart frogs. As I want to include a tiny stream and pool . I love the reticulated ones! Thank you
Good to hear! I love the reticulated too, I just wish they were a bit bolder! Water features are nice but can turn into a pain over time... Just make sure you build it so everything is easily serviceable!
You made a mistake !! now i know everything without having the need to watch more of your channel lol.. you did the video to perfection great upload .very clear and educational ..
Lol thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!
this is really helpful!
Glad you think so!
I want to get frogs someday!
Do you ever catch them or do you buy them?
@@thefrogfreak4431 I buy all of mine, and just about all my animals are captive bred. I don't want to impact wild populations or risk introducing parasites or pathogens to the rest of my collection.
Good! I have always caught my frogs but never keep them, just to look at the amazing creatures, and i am going to go to Costa Rica and i would like to show you the frogs i catch!
I just got 3 tadpoles for 50 and so far I’ve had then 1 week and they are roughly 1 month old according to the breeder. I have a 30 gallon fish tank I converted into a very very heavily planted vivarium. I can’t stop counting the days until they morph and 2 of them look like they are starting to get legs!
Nice! Tadpoles can be a little tricky, but definitely cost effective and extremely rewarding if you can raise them successfully! Good luck! :)
@@NorthernFrogger it’s like I have to go check on them every 10 minutes to make sure they’re okay but they’re still doing great
How they doing now
@@GratefulEd907 all 3 are quite literally hours away from being froglets. One of them has skinny legs but not overly skinny so I’m not sure what to make of it but they’re already really colorful.
@@wafflenuggets5736 that’s awesome
Can we expect any more videos in this series?
Yes
@@NorthernFrogger Awesome! Thank you!
wonderfull video! really helpfull! Good for beginnners?
Yeah, I would say auratus make good beginner frogs, especially if you go for one of the bolder morphs. Some morphs like the reticulated or super blues I would consider a bit too shy to be a great beginner frog, but a bolder morph like an El Cope I would definitely recommend for beginners.
Thoughts on 2 of these with 2 variabilis in a dense 36x18x36 100 gallon?
Awesome video. Are there any of these kinds of frogs that could be kept on its own or maybe in a pair in an exo terra 12x12x18? Or should I maybe look at other frogs if I were to want only 1 or 2
I wouldn't keep any of the auratus in that size, but it could work for a pair of Ranitomeya.
What substrate are u using?
Hi all your frogs and enclosures are amazing Do you think I can keep some dart frogs with my fire salamanders? I have 3 salamanders and they are in big enclosure
Thanks! I wouldn't recommend mixing them. Fire salamanders have toxins which could potentially be harmful to the frogs. Salamanders also tend to be pretty aggressive eaters, with eyes sometimes bigger than their stomachs, and I wouldn't trust them not to try to eat any but the largest dart frogs. Many of the larger feeders you might give to the salamanders like crickets or mealworms, could also potentially do damage the dart frogs.
Northern Frogger that’s true I forgot about salamanders toxins thank you
Do you by chance have a male super blue auratus?
Hi Josh, Larry Salter here. Got 4 Leucs little while back from you. They're doing great, really enjoying them tons. Need more frogs.Want to put together a 36, 18, 36 exo. Like the dendro auratus, blue and blacks, super blue, el cope, idk any species really Josh in the àuratus family.Do you have anything available or in the near future. Sure would like to get more frogs, probly build couple more setups lol. Hope I haven't bothered you by enquiring, thanx.Hope to hear from you soon.
Can you elaborate a bit on the Semi-arboreal thing? I built a vertical vivarium out of a converted 29 gallon aquarium. I'm worried they won't climb it.
They will climb quite a bit if given the chance, but they spend less time in the upper parts than something like a tree frog would.
what can i house them with. small tree frogs and mourning geckos?
As a general rule, I'm not a huge fan of cohabitation of different species in captivity, as it seems to often result in a compromise of the care of one or both species. That being said, I do currently house a pair of mourning geckos with a pair of Azureus, and it seems to be going well, but I'm actually still planning to separate them and build a mourning gecko specific vivarium in the future.
I don't have any experience keeping any tree frogs with dart frogs, but I suppose it could work. As long as they share the same humidity and temperature needs, they are small enough to not try to eat the dart frogs, and the tank is big enough that each species has enough space that they will not be stressed out by the other.
Guess mysterio found a new hobbit after spider man.
Actually have a real question. I revived baby BLUE AND BLACK AURATUS DART FROGS. As a gift from underground reptiles. I had no idea I was getting them. I did However wish to get some in the future so did have an enclosure set up luckily. A question about food. I put a few pinhead crickets in. But they may be too big. I need to order flightless fruit flies. But they won’t be in until next week. How long can they go without eating. As my local stores are all out of the feeders fruit flies cultures. Thanks
I have a 12x12x18 can I have any dart frog in there?
It's a bit on the small side, but you could keep a pair of Ranitomeya in there. I have my thumbnails mostly in that size and they've been doing fine for years. I do feel like that size is a bit smaller than ideal though, and I am looking to upgrade them all into 18" cubes minimum
Is it okay to house different Dendrobates auartus morphs together? Such as a super blue and el cope, blue and black, bocas and others such. I’d like to have a few different colors in my tank, but I want to make sure they will be okay especially if they end up breeding. Would much appreciate a response, thanks Josh!
I generally don't recommend it. I think it's possible if done right, but there is the risk of hybridization so to be responsible about it you'll have to take steps to make sure the eggs/tadpoles don't survive. I would also have concerns about territorial aggression leading leading to undue stress to the frogs.
Can I house an El cope with any of the other 3 subspecies, or should I stick to only the el cope?
I would always recommend against mixing morphs. The El Cope are bigger and bolder than the others so there is a good chance they would bully the smaller ones.
@NorthernFrogger that's what I figured. I just got my first dart Saturday. I admit I did very little research beforehand, but I also didn't know it was available at my local store. One more question, is it more beneficial to have multiple frogs (3 in my situation)? Or is there no difference?
What enclosure size would be ideal for two Auratus with a water feature
24 x 24 x 24
For two a 18x18x18 is fine I have 6 in a 32x18x24 and they have so much space they bearly see eachother
For two a 18x18x18 is fine I have 6 in a 32x18x24 and they have so much space they bearly see eachother
Temperature?
About room temperature is ideal... Low 70's F or low 20's C
@@NorthernFrogger 👍
Hi there. So, what happened to this series? It’s been only 3 videos so far and the last upload happened ages ago?
Hi! Sorry, I know I haven't been uploading as much as I should, and this series has definitely been neglected. Some major life changes in the last year have meant that UA-cam has kind of taken a back seat. I am going to continue the series though and I have already started working on the next installment for a Ranitomeya species ;)
@@NorthernFrogger well, life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans, right?! 😜
Do you sell micro spots ? I have one female and cannot find any micros available right now
Yeah I have several ready right now... Are you in Canada?
Not in Canada unfortunately, I live in CA in the US
@@NorthernFrogger do you know of any breeders in the US that may carry them ?
No I don't unfortunately... I try not to spend too much time browsing the markets down there, just to avoid the temptation lol... I recently just barely managed to talk myself out of cashing in some retirement funds to bring in a pair of tumucumaque 😂😭
@@NorthernFrogger no worries man thanks any ways tho! Love the content and keep posting !
Do you sell frogs?
Yes I do. Normally I can ship within Canada, but with the Coronavirus situation, I'm not sure how easy that will be right now.
