Morning Check-In With the Frogs

Dart frog perched in vivarium during a morning check-in

Every morning starts the same in my frog room — a quiet check-in to see how everyone is doing before breakfast. Some of the daytime dart frogs are already calling, staking their territory and warming up their voices for the day. Others are perched on leaves or glass, waiting for the morning feed.

This routine is a good chance to check on their health, activity, and the conditions in each vivarium. A lively call or an eager frog hopping out for food is always a reassuring sign. Keeping a close eye on behaviour is one of the best ways to make sure everything is balanced — humidity, temperature, and diet.

If you’re new to dart frog keeping, you’ll quickly learn that mornings are often the most active time. Watch the video below for a glimpse into my own check-in, and listen out for those first calls of the day!

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.
