Poison dart frogs primarily feed on small invertebrates, particularly ants, termites, and small beetles, which provide them with the toxins that make them poisonous. Their bright colors serve as a warning to potential predators about their toxicity. Predators of poison dart frogs include birds, snakes, and some mammals that have developed a resistance to their toxins. Despite their toxicity, these frogs still face threats from habitat loss and environmental changes.

They don't poison their prey. They have the poison on their skin to keep predators from eating them. They eat small insects like fruit flies and they don't need poison to kill those.

In the wild: Dart frogs hunt ants and termites by day amidst the thick brush. Because their prey is so small, they spend a great deal of time foraging, increasing their vulnerability to predation. Their bright colors offer them protection as they forage, warning away predators such as snakes. At the zoo:Pinhead crickets and wingless fruit flies.
no it is not but it is used to put on the end of the arrows to kill prey
All frogs consume its prey by flipping out its tongue and with its sticky substance, it makes its prey stick to its body.
Frogs might have a type of symbiosis called Parasitism. *G*
The only snake known to be immune to the toxins of poison dart frogs is the Rhabdophis tigrinus, commonly referred to as the tiger keelback snake. This snake has evolved to not only tolerate the potent toxins of these frogs but also to sequester them for its own defense. When consumed, the toxins from the frogs are stored in the snake's tissues, making it distasteful or toxic to potential predators. This unique adaptation showcases a fascinating example of predator-prey interactions in nature.
