Arrow Frogs vs Poison Dart Frogs: Names, History, and Care Explained

A brightly coloured poison dart frog on a mossy forest floor representing the history behind the term arrow frogs

Husbandry & Evidence Review – 5 September 2026 This terminology/history article has been corrected so poison-frog alkaloids are described as diet-derived/sequestered rather than ‘produced’ by the frog, and captive animals are not labelled absolutely non-toxic. If you’ve searched for arrow frogs recently, chances are you’ve noticed something odd: the term is everywhere, yet rarely explained […]

Healthy Arrow Frogs Start From the Ground Up: Nutrition, Habitat, and Supplements Explained

Husbandry & Evidence Review – 5 September 2026 Nutrition, habitat and supplementation interact, but this article should not be read as evidence that any single commercial supplement, clay product or bioactive feature guarantees health. Use the current feeding, supplementation and complete-care guides for Frogfather’s evidence-reviewed position. Keeping arrow frogs successfully isn’t about mastering one single […]

Vivarium Light Risers: Optimising Light, Heat, and Airflow in Modern Enclosures

Selection of 3D printed vivarium light riser variants designed for Arcadia T5 and Jungle Dawn LED lighting systems

Husbandry & Evidence Review – 6 September 2026 Light risers can change fixture clearance, heat transfer, airflow obstruction and beam geometry. They do not guarantee thermostat performance, humidity stability or plant growth. Most vivarium lighting problems aren’t caused by “the wrong light” — they’re caused by where the light sits and how it’s aimed. Put […]

Why Moss, Microhabitats, and Humidity Are Critical for Arrow Frog Health

Husbandry & Evidence Review – 5 September 2026 Moss can provide cover, visual structure and local moisture-retaining surfaces, but it does not independently regulate vivarium humidity or replace ventilation, leaf litter and species-appropriate moisture cycles. Treat this article as practical planting/microhabitat guidance rather than a fixed humidity prescription. When people think about keeping arrow frogs, […]
