The Bio Dude (www.thebiodude.com) takes us behind the scenes showing us the fascinating process of doing a home reno...for Poison Dart Frogs! www.hmns.org/cockrell-butterf...
I questioned mixing of species at the Santa Barbara zoo and was told they are for display only. They don’t breed and pull any eggs. I have been using Josh’s Bio Dude products for a very long time. I find him innovative and in my opinion a pioneer in the setup of various ecosystems. It is about the animals that we keep and their well-being
This is really bad. Mixing dart frog species, ESPECIALLY for an "educational display" is unethical. Dart frog species should not be kept together for three main reasons. One, interspecies aggression. two, interspecies hybridization. Which is a huge problem for the dart frog hobby that we are actively fighting against as it has led to the loss of several unique varieties and overproduction of mud frogs for pet stores. And Three- they can have varying humidity and temperature requirements that will make some of them more prone to infection, foot rot, and other things in an environment that some would do well in.
The main reason that it is not a good idea is because if they are not the same sex they can breed and produce hybrids. The problem with this is people in the hobby really look down on it and most suggest euthanizing the offspring.Some are prolific breeders Once a pair is established .
