Care
A group of 2–4 adults needs a terrarium of at least 60 × 45 × 45 cm at 22–28 °C by day and 20–22 °C at night, with 80–100 % humidity. Give them floor space with leaf litter as well as climbing structures. Feed fruit flies, springtails and pinhead crickets, dusted with calcium and vitamins at every feeding. More in our wiki article on Phyllobates vittatus care and breeding.
