Thanks all!
They're really not that hard at all! They basically need high humidity (close to 100%, definitely no lower than 85%), temperatures in the mid-seventies (75 is ideal, but anything from 70-80 will work), places to hide, and very small food items like fruit flies or pinhead crickets. Most people keep them in vivariums with live plants since the plants help keep the humidity up and give the frogs some added security. My auratus viv (the green and black ones) has a waterfall and is pretty elaborate, but for quarantine setups I've used something as basic as a plastic tub with damp paper towels and little plastic cups for hidey-holes. The first frog is an Imitator dart frog, Ranitomeya imitator (formerly Dendrobates imitator).Are they really difficult to take care of? I love the teal-ish colors on them. What type is the first one?
You should do it! Once you order a couple of flightless fruit fly cultures and extra cups to make new ones, you'll be set for food, no problemI love dart frogs! If it wasn't for it being so hard to get food for them I'd be building a vivarium for them.
