Dart frog hiding in a planted jungle vivarium with call-to-action text ‘Why Do My Frogs Hide? Discover the Fix’ overlayed

Why Do My Dart Frogs Hide All the Time? (And How to See Them More Often)

🐸 Ever feel like your frogs have vanished into thin air?

Post Copy:
If your dart frogs spend all day hiding, you’re not alone. In the wild they live under rainforest canopies, weaving through leaf litter and bromeliads – not basking in bright light.

The fix? 🌿 More planting, natural hides, soft lighting, and the right temps (22–26°C is the sweet spot). Give them security, and you’ll see them hopping around much more often.

👉 Full guide now live on Frogfather.co.uk – link in bio.
