How do poison dart frogs eat?
insects and grass The easy answer is they eat bugs, live bugs. In the wild, they eat bugs and beetles that eat poisonous plants. It is these bugs that the frogs are able to extract the alkaloid toxins that they use to make betraxotoxin (spelling may be wrong) (the same toxin found in the liver of blow fish. See blow fish sushi for info) stored in glands on their back. When the frog feels threatened, The frog will present their back with their head down and butt up and secrete poison from the glands. When kept in captivity, controlling the diet of the bugs keep the alkaloid toxin from the frog and the frogs loose their toxicity.They eat plants and bugsIn the wild they eat mostly fire ants. The reason being, these ants are the source of the frog's poison. In captivity, owners can buy them wingless fruit flies and vitamin dust at most pet-stores and feed it to them, although most pet-stores do not supply poison dart frogs. A great place to get one is a private breeder.Dart frogs purely eat and survive off meat. They will eat spiders, ants, termites and insects such as flies.

Can turtles and dart frogs live together in the same habitat?
This is EXTREMELY inadviseable. Dart frogs are toxic. While they are much less toxic in captivity, they still produce toxins. They are also extremely small. Turtles are omnivores, and may decide to try to take a bite. This would be fatal for the frog AND possibly for the turtle. Dart frogs are poor swimmers, and would drown in a water turtle's pool. Box turtles and other land turtles would definitely see the frogs as a potential meal. In general, it's not a good idea to mix different herp species in one cage. If you are really set on doing so, it must be a HUGE enclosure, with hiding space and habitat for all of the inhabitants, and they must all have the same environmental requirements. Obviously, they should also all be around the same size, and not prone to prey on one another. Dart frogs and turtles--NOT a good mix.

It's supposed to be the Phylobates Terribilis. However, the name Poison Dart frog is a common term for the Poison Frogs, the Dendrobatidae family of frogs. The family is split into four genera: Epipedobates, Colostethus, Dendrobataes, and Phyllobates. A question that is raised is how the frogs produce this toxicity and research points towards the frog's diet of highly toxic insects to be an important factor in the frog's ability to synthesize its own poison.

Poisonous frogs have the poison on their skins or it is excreted through the skin. When a animal or human touches the frog, the poison transfers through skin to skin contact. If an animal tries to bite or eat the frog (example: a snake or possum), the poisons transfer from the frog's skin to the predator's mouth. Did you know that most poisonous frogs are also the most colorful? The distinctive coloring is part of their warning system, "Don't eat me; I'll taste bad and kill you."

Is a gecko or a poison dart frog better as a pet?
A Poison Dart Frog, as a pet, to play with yourself and watch it play with other pets? I believe that the Gecko sounds like the better choice for a pet, to me. Additional Information: There are many "endangered" or "critically endangered" Poison Dart Frog species, that doesn't take into account the levels of toxin they carry. They are hard to care for, and require a specific environment, and certain atmospheric conditions. Zoos working to breed and raise them are also struggling with a disease that kills them. The Gecko is a common species and seen in many environments. They could make an excellent pet. While some species do require a controlled atmosphere, they are fun to watch, as many can change colors, and make interesting calls, and chirping sounds, some have a sweet tooth, enjoying fresh fruits, and honey. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
