Ever wondered where your dart frog comes from when you order online? Here at Frogfather, we’re not just any dart frog seller. We’re rooted deep in the lush heart of the Midlands, right here in Nottingham. That gives us the perfect base to ship live frogs, vivariums, and everything bioactive to frog lovers all across the UK.
Nottingham: Our Frog-Filled Midlands HQ
We’re Midlands born and bred. Our HQ in Nottingham is stocked with tree frogs, dart frogs, tadpoles, fruit flies, springtails and more. Not only does being based in the Midlands give us a logistical advantage (hello speedy couriers), but it means we can reach you quicker whether you’re up in Newcastle, down in Brighton, or hiding somewhere in the Welsh hills.
Our frogs don’t just hop out the door though. We use a DEFRA-registered live animal courier service that handles each delivery with the same care we give our own frogs. It’s quick, temperature-controlled, and designed to get your frogs to you safely, usually within 24–48 hours of dispatch.
Bioactive Vivariums, Shipped from the Heart of England
We know our viv kits. We’re not a big anonymous pet warehouse—we build, test, tweak, and live with our own setups. Whether you’re after a full beginner dart frog setup or just some leaf litter and isopods, it all leaves from our Midlands base. That means fewer delays, shorter transit times, and better frog health.
We pack each vivarium kit or live plant order ourselves, usually the same or next working day. Orders with frogs are arranged via email so you know exactly when to expect them. You’ll get tracking links and personal updates from us, not some faceless system.
Bonus Collection Hub in Kent
Live near Kent? You’re in luck. While we’re proudly Midlands-based, we also operate an additional collection hub in Kent. With a bit of notice, frogs can be transported to Kent for collection—usually within 4 days.
Just let us know when you order and we’ll arrange a date that works for both of us. Perfect if you’d rather collect in person or want to save on shipping.
Why Midlands Matters for Frogkeepers
Being in the Midlands gives us:
- Central courier routes for faster nationwide delivery
- Consistent temperatures for frog health year-round
- A community of loyal frog folk across the region (we see you, Derby, Leicester, Sheffield!)
It also makes our business easy to reach from almost anywhere. Whether you’re new to frogs or deep into your Oophaga obsession, we’re a message away—and our frogs are never far.
From Nottingham to Nationwide
We ship dart frogs, fruit fly cultures, frog-safe plants, vivarium hardware and more across:
- England
- Wales
- Scotland (including Highlands with notice)
- Isle of Wight (with courier arrangement)
We do not export abroad at this time.
All live orders are arranged ahead of time, with live arrival guaranteed and a solid returns policy. Our packing is next-level too. Every frog travels in their own padded pot with moisture, ventilation, and secure labelling.
