Unfortunately, it seems like TH-cam has a technical issue making be unable to add subtitles at the moment, so there won’t be any for this video until that’s fixed. Sorry about that. Hopefully this issue will be fixed soon so I can at least add subtitles to the next one. It’ll be a few months until I upload my next video, but it will be one of my best ones ever that I think you’ll really appreciate. Follow me on Instagram for more frequent updates.
Excellent builds. I always enjoy these videos. I am a keeper of multiple Oophaga pumilio locales, and in the American hobby it is recommended to keep them in much larger enclosures (30-40g, 18x18x24 inches or larger). I've not seen them kept in smaller enclosures like this, and I would really like to see how this goes, because space is a constraint for me.
We'll see how it goes. 18x18x24 is a really good starting size to recommend. In my personal, opinion, the tiny species can be kept in something smaller if it is set up optimally (at least the tiny Ranitomeya reticulata; I'd like to upgrade the Oophagas at some point in the future since they are a bit larger and need room for all the tadpole care but for now I think this is fine for them too), and I also think that these measurements are far more valuable than let's say a 12x12x18 despite both of them being a similar volume (though these are still larger)
another thing to point out, you are using most of the vertical space in thes enclosures instead of just having a background and floor space. this makes a hug difference. A lot of people waste this opportunity. some species climb into trees to deposit eggs in bromeliads. not providing climbing space just does not make sense.
@@billsmith1998 Oophaga pumilio are definitely the most arboreal dart frog species (apart from Oophaga arborea), so it may work very well. I would personally do something like this with a bit more height (24-30 inches), but you also said you'd like to upgrade them at some point, which I highly recommend doing, not because these terrariums are too small, but because with pumilio, you tend to see much cooler and more unique behaviors the larger you house them. I also like the depth; pumilio being a little more finnicky might really appreciate being able to put a bit more distance between themselves and the doors, especially breeding pumilio, as they may be more productive with some privacy. I've seen a lot of Ranitomeya kept in these "slot style" (thin but deep) vivariums, most likely for that reason, being a more shy genus.
Excellent video, beautiful frogs. Thank you for sharing ❤
Grattis till dom nya grodorna och alla terrarier!
Very nice. Thank you. I would love to see a video with the sound that each local of frog makes. That is how I choose if I want to keep them or not.

Yayy! I hope to see updates on how breeding is going
Two excellent choices of frogs.
