Is it easy to breed dart frogs?

Dendrobates leucomelas is considered easy to breed, although the species will never be as fecund as many other common species of dart frogs. This is most likely due to their activity patterns in the wild – a 4-5 month dry season stops breeding, which resumes with the rains.

Can you keep dart frogs in tubs?

Container. At Josh’s Frogs, we’ve found that a 128oz container and lid makes the perfect home. It’s not 100% air tight, but will keep the humidity and fruit flies in. Our 128oz containers are crystal clear, making observation easy. Froglets should only be kept in these containers for 6 months max.
