# Dyeing poison dart frog — care routine

Dendrobates tinctorius

## Before arrival

- [ ] Maintain several small-live-food cultures and a heatwave plan before arrival.
- [ ] Wildform proposes 60 × 45 × 60 cm or larger for an adult/potential compatible pair, with leaf litter, drainage, cover and usable low climbing. Group composition needs separate assessment.
- [ ] Run and record the completed habitat through daytime and overnight conditions before arrival.

## Routine checks

- [ ] Check actual feeding by every frog, leaf-litter moisture and the warmest air reading.

## Regular care and records

- [ ] Rotate backup feeder cultures and review individual condition and social compatibility.

## When to seek help

- [ ] Track body condition and movement without handling. Persistent weight loss, skin changes or abnormal posture needs an amphibian vet.
- [ ] Arrange appropriate professional assessment for injury, sudden decline or repeated care problems.
