Recommended Vivarium Size: A 10 gallon aquarium is suitable for a single Dendrobates truncatus 'Yellow', but Josh's Frogs recommends a 20H or 18x18x18 Vivarium for 1-4 frogs. Not sure how to set up a vivarium? Please watch our video on How to Set Up a Vivarium.



Temperature: They can tolerate a temperature range of 65 F to 80 F, but prefer temperatures in the low to mid 70s. Temperatures over 85F are dangerous.



Humidity: Like most poison dart frogs, truncatus prefer a humidity range of 70 – 100%, but can tolerate humidity down to 50% for short periods of time if the frogs have access to water. Low humidity levels, especially without access to water, can quickly be fatal.



Size: Adult female truncatus are larger, measuring in at approximately 1.25 inches. Male Dendrobates truncatus 'Yellow' are a bit smaller, averaging about 1 inch at maturity. All of the yellow truncatus froglets Josh's Frogs sells are well started juveniles, and measure at least 5/8” long.



Age: Dendrobates truncatus 'Yellow' is capable of living well over 20 years in captivity under ideal conditions, although a lifespan of 10 years is more common. In the wild, it is thought that yellow truncatus may live 4-6 years. All truncatus for sale at Josh's Frogs are well started juveniles, and are 2-3 months old.



Feeding: Like most poison dart frogs, yellow truncatus prefer smaller foods. All of the truncatus Josh's Frogs sells will readily eat Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. Adult Dendrobates truncatus 'Yellow' will readily consume Drosophila hydei fruit flies and pinhead crickets. All ages of poison dart frogs will enjoy springtails and isopods. All feeder insects should be dusted with a vitamin/mineral supplement. For more information on what poison dart frogs can eat, please visit our How-To Guide on Feeding Poison Dart Frogs.
