Handling and Aggression
Strawberry poison dart frogs are fast, small, and slippery. They are best left alone because they do not like being handled or grabbed at. It would be extremely easy to lose one because it slipped out of your hands.

Diet
Because of their small size, they need small food they can swallow easily. Fruit flies and pinhead crickets are ideal for an adult frog. When dusted with pure calcium supplement once a week, they make an ideal staple.

Most poison frogs will take food every 3 days, but if there are still many prey items in the tank after three days, wait until they are consumed before feeding more.

Shelter
A couple pieces of cork bark or coconut huts work well to provide small, damp spaces for a dart frog to rest in during the daytime. The leaves and cover of live or fake plants works well too.

Room temperature, about 70-80 degrees is suitable for a strawberry poison dart frog. This means that heating devices are not normally required, and temperatures can drop 10 degrees at night. If heat is a problem, a low wattage bulb works well. Poison frogs need a photoperiod of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark.

In the wild, the exact lifespan of these frogs remains unknown. But in captivity or as pets, they have been known to live up to 17 years.
