How long do dart frogs live
Dart frogs live 5–10 years with stable humidity and a clean terrarium. The killers are dehydration (they breathe through skin), chytrid fungus (a deadly amphibian disease), and poor nutrition from a mono-diet of flightless fruit flies. A well-built bioactive terrarium carries them for a decade.
Terrarium: a tiny rainforest
Use a tall glass terrarium (e.g., 18×18×24 in / 45×45×60 cm for a small group) with a drainage layer, live plants, and a microfauna clean-up crew (springtails, isopods). Substrate stays damp, not wet. Provide hides and leaf litter. A bioactive setup self-maintains humidity and reduces cleaning stress.
