Thanks and happy frogging! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
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 have actually been trying to do that! I've got pretty good quality audio recordings of 6 or 7 of them now
Cool frogs. Interesting history. You guys get frogs calling to the vid. I get my dogs barking at themselves. Thanks for the species spotlight. Enjoyed learning about them.
Very informative! Thanks! 👍
Oh so cute! We have two bumble bee frogs! This video is really cool
Thanks so much for everything you do!! I really appreciate your all the great information… ✌🏻
Actually been looking into getting these dart frogs since I'm new to the dart frog world. Thanks for the info :D
Just found Northern Frogger and I love it. My family and I are talking about diving into the world of poison dart frogs as a family pet and this is great information.
Very good video, i am also have 3 leucomelas and your video helped me to pick the right frogs for me. :)
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!!
Thank you. Very informational. Will be my first animal.
Absolutely correct! I have an Auratus and a Leauc and the Auratus is very shy while the leauc is more bold.
awesome vid
Thanks for making this video. I'm in the process of building a large/tall exoterra viv this winter. I'm trying to figure out which dart frog species to put in it next spring.
Your species spotlight vids helped me decide what dart frog I was going to get ( Dendrobates Auratus Costa Rican el cope I switched last second cause joshs frogs ran out of the green and black)
Great choice!
dude... Ive been working on a lehmanni video doing the same thing lol... hahah great minds think alike
Haha awesome! Can't wait to see it, I'm pretty envious of those frogs!
Nice video👍
Excellent video. Congratulations! I'm trying to get in the dart frog hobbie and might start with the leucomelas.
Is, the first plant in the opening, a Urtica dioica?!!
Thanks!!!!
man i really want leucomelas but i don't want so many frogs :(... beautiful :)
Love the video. great vid. been subbed because im using your tanks as inspiration. thanks. been a salt water/ fresh water guy so as much as ive wanted dart frogs, ive been scared but i think its time lol
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.
Thanks for the insight. I mean I'm sure you own a car and probably use a lot of things that possibly can kill the environment. but nice to know I should switch hobbies in order to save the world from global warming.
@@kishb4609 Ripping all the fish from the ocean to put in a display tank because they cant be captive bred has nothing to do with global warming, one who is so sure of things.
@@kishb4609 Its a disgusting thing to do ON TOP of the fact the reefs are being destroyed by global warming, you can BE SURE of that.
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
Cool video man.. If you have sips could you please do a video on them.. Keep it up
Thanks! I don't have any sips, but I would like to get some eventually.
Hi guys! Wondering if your leucomelas have ever had a "watered-out" yellow/orange? Like the colouring is not so opaque?
i think they are neat but they would not live in the heat here
Thanks for the video :) I love the sound of these but haven’t heard them in person. Would there be issues having them in an apartment as far as noise levels?
Glad you enjoyed it! These are one of the louder dart frogs, but I still think they would be fine in an apartment. Especially since they are diurnal and call during the day, so they shouldn't keeping anyone up!
@@NorthernFrogger Thanks for the response! Glad to hear that because I have a trio now and can't wait for them to start calling.
Thank you for great info just building my first vivarium using troys method of great foam and wire wheel it is 36x36x18 do you sell these guys when I’m all finished and have seasoned my tanks? Since I live in Canada and can’t order from Troy
Awesome! Glad you found it useful :) I do sell these guys, and I can ship within Canada via Reptile Express. I don't actually have any available right now, but I do have several froglets that will be ready soon!
Hi can I ask it has been 2day since introducing and not seen since , is this normal
Made my male start calling
Haha yeah when I was editing and deciding which calling clip to use, all my males starting going nuts calling back!
I just bought some small bumblebee darts, what should I feed them and what’s a good live plant for the tank?
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.
Epic video could I use fake plaints and live in my set up
I don't see why not!
Might be a stupid question but can I put a bumble bee dart frog with a white tree frog?
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.
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.
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 want to get a few of these but i'm not ready to raise and sell dart frogs. Is there a way to avoid a group from breeding?
@@Matthew-cd8iv thaknks =D
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 =)
I just got a pair of bumblebees and I'm wondering how to tell the male from the female aside from size. Are there any other markers?
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!
@@NorthernFrogger I appreciate the response. One of them is calling, so fingers crossed!
Heard that the females fight over the males. Which is different in the animal world.
Can you sale and ship bromeliads across Canada?
Yes I can!
Ok! I'll wait until summer
Do they can kill a person like the others south american frogs?
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.
how can i contact u ?
do u ave a website or something?
I do have a very incomplete website at northernfrogger.ca but there is a contact form there. If you have Instagram you can dm me there too @northernfrogger
@@NorthernFrogger Perfect thans for the info , ill go chek it out !!
