Golden Mantella CB24

The Golden Mantella Frog is a small, brightly colored frog native to the rainforests of Madagascar. It is critically endangered due to habitat loss and collection for the pet trade. The Golden Mantella Frog is currently being bred in captivity to help increase its population in the wild.

The Golden Mantella frogs are small, reaching around 1 inch in length when fully grown. They require a tank with a secure lid to prevent escape, as well as live plants and hiding spots for security.

They feed on a diet of small insects such as fruit flies and pinhead crickets.

Golden Mantella require an ambient temperature of around 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit, with a basking temperature no greater than 80 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent stress.

Avoid using tap water for your frog to prevent skin irritation; Instead, opt for dechlorinated water by letting tap water sit uncovered for 24 to 48 hours, using chlorine-free bottled water, or utilizing a water dechlorinator like Reptiasafe to ensure the water is safe for your frog’s skin.

Waterfalls and misters are a fine addition to a frog tank where they can be found sitting by the waterfall feeding daily. LED lighting can improve the appearance of your tank and are is a must in a display tank. You can also purchase terrarium fans which prevent the glass in your tank from fogging up

They can be kept in groups providing it is large enough for several frogs and enough food is available. Care should be taken when mixing frogs as they may breed.
