Captive Care
See also: History of dendrobatid frogkeepingThe blue dart frog is very popular in captivity. Besides being visually appealing, D. azureus is both hardy and easy to breed. They are highly recommended for beginner hobbyists. However, they are somewhat aggressive frogs, and are best kept in pairs.
Like most captive dart frogs, they eat a staple diet of fruit flies, pinhead crickets, rice flour beetle larvae, and springtails.

Famous quotes containing the words captive and/or care:
“There a captive sat in chains
Crooning ditties treasured well
From his Afric’s torrid plains.
Sole estate his sire bequeathed,—
Hapless sire to hapless son,—
Was the wailing song he breathed,
And his chain when life was done.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. For that we care for them; from that have issued endless consequences.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
