Description
Almirante Dart Froglets – Oophaga pumilio (UK Bred)
Captive-bred, well-started Oophaga pumilio ‘Almirante’ froglets feeding independently on appropriately sized live prey.
Experience level
These are specialist poison frogs. The previous “perfect for experienced frogkeepers” wording has been replaced with practical husbandry information rather than a sales label.
Environment
Provide a densely planted, well-ventilated enclosure with leaf litter, vertical structure, refuges and useful wet/drier microhabitats. We have removed the simplistic “high humidity + daily misting” formula: misting frequency should be adjusted to the actual enclosure, ventilation, room temperature and moisture cycle.
Bioactive wording corrected
A bioactive enclosure can be useful, but it is not biologically essential in the sense that the frogs cannot be kept safely without one. What is essential is that the enclosure provides appropriate environmental conditions, security, feeding access and hygiene.
Feeding
Offer appropriately sized fruit flies and other suitable micro-prey with an evidence-informed supplementation programme. Springtails may supplement feeding opportunities but should not be relied upon as the sole food source.
Social and breeding note
Oophaga pumilio can be territorial and has specialised obligate egg-feeding parental care. Froglets are unsexed, and future pair/group compatibility cannot be predicted reliably at this stage.
Husbandry & Evidence Review
Last reviewed: 5 September 2026
This product wording has been reviewed so that practical Frogfather experience is separated from universal husbandry claims. Equipment can support husbandry, but it does not itself guarantee breeding, stable humidity, feeding success or animal compatibility.
