POISON DART FROGS.

At Vivarium Concepts we pride ourselves in offering a wide assortment of healthy, captive bred poison dart frogs. We breed what we sell, and can therefore offer you the best customer service and support before,during and after you purchase your dart frogs.

PLANTS AND MOSSES.

Whether your interest is in vivariums or terrariums, we offer exotic tropical plants, orchids and mosses that are ideally suited to these ecosystems. The

plants and mosses

we recommend have been tried and tested not only in our breeder tanks but also in the tanks of our customers.

EXOTIC WOODS.

Vivarium Concepts carries a wide assortment of exotic woods and jungle vines from around the world. From our two color African Mopani hardwood,to the deep reddish-brown color of the Malaysian driftwood, all of our woods are ideally suited to give your terrarium that 'jungle' look and feel. Our ghostwood and branchy Manzanita pieces are not only beautiful but also functional. These are an excellent choice for mounting bromeliads and tillandsias, to offering climbing spots for reptiles and amphibians. Our jungle vines include, Sorong Island Curvy Lianas that have grown into a twisting and curving one of a kind piece of natural art. Pigtail vines and Sureal vines (aka monkey ladders), will add that finishing touch to your naturalistic vivarium.

FEEDER INSECTS.

We offer a variety of

feeder insects

to satisfy a variety of appetites. Our fruit fly selection includes D. melanogaster 'wingless', 'flightless', 'curly wing', as well as the larger flightless D. hydei. Our

fruit fly

media will boost your production, and our culturing supplies, will help to keep your feeder costs to a minimum.

Tropical springtails, not only make for a tasty treat for the dart frogs, but are considered by some as a diet staple for newly morphed froglets. Springtails are also considered the recyclers of the vivarium, by eating algae, fungi, and decaying vegetation reducing these down to 'soil'.

Vivarium Concepts sells dwarf tropical woodlice cultures. Most dart frogs from thumbnails to tincs will relish this unusual feeder offering. Dwarf tropical woodlice, like tropical springtails devour decomposing organic matter, forming a bioactive substrate.

HABITATS.

At Vivarium Concepts, our goal is to create a vivarium that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but will also meet and exceed the

habitat

needs of your poison dart frog or other reptile or amphibian. Vivarium Concepts can help the "do it yourself" type by offering an extensive line of products and years of experience, as well as offering turn key vivariums, and maintenance services.

Setting Up Your Vivarium

With their beauty and ease of care, dart frogs are ever growing in popularity. Your vivarium can be as simple or as complex as you wish to make it.

Food for Thought

Culturing fruit flys can be one of the most cost effective ways to keep your frogs fed. While there are a number of varieties of fruit flys available, we will focus on culturing the D. melanogaster.
