    Terrific series focusing on each type of frog! It would get great if you could start capturing their calls. Maybe create a kind of library of frog calls. They are remarkably different.

    I absolutely love this. I look forward to more videos on your other frog types. I am personally in love with Highland Bronze and plan to start off with those. I would like to breed eventually. As we have been breeding fish for 25 years and breeding appeals to us greatly. These videos are very informative. Thank you!!

    This is the 5th frog commercial, er, video I have watched. Josh finally let me her one of the frogs croak. It's not the croak sound I wanted to hear in my house. There are small frogs like these in a seasonal creek and waterfall off of a hiking trail just outside of Newbury Park, CA. They are very loud and I love listening to them. I guess I'll have to find out what species they are and look for a place that sells them.

      Most people into dart frogs really, really care about the animals being preserved in the wild, and captivity because they are endangered .People who own salt water tanks claim to love the ocean while destroying it even further than global warming.

      I get that but what does that have to do with what I commented? do you go around commenting on everyones comments who mention salt water tanks? or just giving out information? if you just want to teach the mass youd be better off making a video explaining that. I just don't see why that was so important for you to mention. but you do realize that our forests and jungles also being destroyed by humans. I doubt you go on peoples vids who do landscaping and destroy a lot of trees and tell them how killing trees are bad. I just wanted to leave a simple comment for thanking this Northern Frogger for making a good video

    I just bought some small bumblebee darts, what should I feed them and what’s a good live plant for the tank?

    • @NorthernFrogger
      @NorthernFrogger  Рік тому

      You'll want to feed them melanogaster fruit flies. As far as plants, there are tons of options. Things like pothos or some philodendrons are easy to grow and inexpensive to obtain. Bromeliads are always nice but not really required for bumblebees. Almost any tropical plant than can handle very high humidity can work well in a dart frog tank.

      Size is the main thing. I find the toe pad thing to not really be reliable with bumblebees. Of course, if one of them is calling that's a clear indication of a male!

    Can you put two males/two females together or will tbey get aggressive? Im not trying to get a massive amount of eggs i cant do anything with.

    • @NorthernFrogger
      @NorthernFrogger  7 місяців тому

      It would be better to have two males, as the females are more likely to fight each other, but leucomelas aren't super territorial in my experience so two females would probably be ok together too, especially if they have enough space and there is no male to compete over.

      I have lots of bromeliads full of water for them to lay. I also heard leucs don't take care of their tadpoles so they would die anyways if I don't feed them? I suppose I can just scoop them up with a spoon when I see them =)

    • @NorthernFrogger

      I definitely wouldn't recommend it. An adult White's could eat even an adult bumblebee, not to mention they have different husbandry requirements which would make it challenging if not impossible to provide the ideal habitat for both in one enclosure.

    • @NorthernFrogger
      @NorthernFrogger  5 років тому +1

      Unless you are actively licking or eating them, very few frogs anywhere have enough poison to actually kill a human. Dart frogs get their poison from the insects they eat, so many of them are poisonous in the wild, but will not develop poisons when fed a captive diet of fruit flies. But even in the wild, most of them aren't poisonous enough to cause any real harm to humans unless you are actively ingesting them.
