Leaf litter is useful for dart frogs for hiding, preventing stress, and even egg-laying sites. Indian Almond leaves are used for tadpole tea and provide anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties when used with tadpoles, fish, or invertebrates. These leaves are easily broken into pieces for ease of adding into tadpole cups, aquariums, etc.
The habitat that dart frogs are naturally found in contains a deep layer of leaf litter, so it is important to mimic this inside a vivarium for more naturalistic behavior! Adding Indian Almond leaves to an enclosure is always a great idea, as its antimicrobial properties can protect sensitive species, such as Phyllobates, from diseases such as foot rot.
