Description
Healthy dart frogs aren’t built on a single supplement — they thrive on consistent, balanced support. The Dart Frog Essentials Pack brings together two key elements of dart frog care that work best when used alongside each other: nutritional supplementation and natural mineral access.
This pack is designed for keepers who want to do things properly without overcomplicating their routine.
🐸 Dart Frog Essentials – Vitamin & Mineral Boost (50g)
Feeder insects alone don’t provide everything dart frogs need. This fine, easy-coating powder is formulated to top up essential vitamins and minerals that are commonly missing from captive diets.
Key benefits:
Supports healthy bone growth and muscle function
Aids immune response and long-term vitality
Helps maintain strong breeding condition
Encourages natural, vibrant colouration
Suitable for adults, juveniles, and froglets
The powder coats feeders evenly without clumping, making it ideal for fruit flies, springtails, isopods, and other micro-feeders.
Suitable for:
Dendrobates
Ranitomeya
Ameerega
Oophaga
Other small tropical amphibians
🪨 Dart Frog Clay Bath (50g) with Rock Bath Dish
In the wild, dart frogs regularly encounter mineral-rich soils and clay deposits. These provide trace elements that support skin health, electrolyte balance, and natural physiological processes.
The Dart Frog Clay Bath recreates this option in captivity, allowing frogs to self-regulate their exposure naturally — no forced dosing, no stress.
Why it matters:
Provides access to trace minerals found in natural habitats
Supports skin condition and hydration
Encourages instinctive behaviours
Acts as a passive, always-available health support
The included rock-style bath dish keeps the clay contained, looks natural in bioactive setups, and makes maintenance easy.
🌿 Bioactive & Vivarium Safe
Both products are designed to work safely in planted, bioactive vivariums when used as directed.
The clay remains localised in the dish, and the supplement integrates cleanly into standard feeding routines without disrupting springtails or isopods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use this with all dart frog species?
Yes. This pack is suitable for all commonly kept dart frog species, including Dendrobates, Ranitomeya, Ameerega, and Oophaga.
Will the clay bath make a mess in my vivarium?
No. The included rock dish keeps the clay contained and prevents it spreading into the substrate.
Do my frogs have to use the clay bath?
No — and that’s the point. Frogs will use it instinctively when needed. Some use it frequently, others only occasionally.
Can I leave the clay bath in permanently?
Yes. Many keepers leave it available at all times, refreshing the clay periodically.
How does this fit with my existing supplement schedule?
The vitamin & mineral boost can be rotated with your current supplements. If you already use calcium or vitamin A, reduce overlap to avoid over-supplementation.
Is this safe for bioactive setups?
Yes. When used as directed, both products are safe for planted, bioactive vivariums and will not harm springtails or isopods.
Is this suitable for froglets?
Yes. Use a lighter dusting for froglets and juveniles and ensure feeders are appropriately sized.
