This Week at The Frogfather: Big Builds & Exciting Progress

It’s been a busy and creative week here at The Frogfather HQ, and we’ve got some really exciting updates to share with you all.

First up – the new vivarium build. This one’s a beast at 120cm by 60cm, giving us loads of space to play with and create a proper showcase environment. Alongside the build, we’ve been experimenting with a few new features:

A brand-new ventilation system using our 3D-printed light risers, making sure airflow is spot on without sacrificing light penetration.
A fresh opening system for the doors, keeping things secure but easy to access.
Integration of our airlock feeding system, so you can top up food and check on your animals without disturbing the whole setup.

On top of that, we’ve started carving not one, but two custom backgrounds for customers. These will be “pop-in ready,” meaning once they’re finished, you’ll be able to slot them straight into your vivarium with minimal fuss. Over the next week, we’ll be recording the whole process – from initial layout and carving through to covering and installation. Keep an eye out next Friday, when we’ll be dropping a full video showing the journey from start to finish.

👀 Coming Soon

Without giving too much away… we’ve got some brand-new designs and enclosures on the way that will make life easier for both hobbyists and breeders. Plus, a few fresh plant and isopod updates are in the pipeline. Watch this space – we’ll be revealing more very soon!

It’s shaping up to be a busy (and slightly messy!) few days, but we can’t wait to share the results with you.

Until then – happy frogging! 🐸

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.

How Much to Feed a Dart Frog (UK Guide)

New to dart frogs? 🐸 Wondering how much and how often to feed them?
Too little = stress and weight loss.
Too much = fruit fly chaos.
We’ve put together the UK keeper’s guide to proper feeding, dusting, species differences, and even UVB use.
