A little natural history
A tiny orange frog from Madagascar with a very restricted natural distribution. Its bright appearance resembles poison frogs, but mantellas belong to a different family and continent.
The wonderfully odd bit
Calling males may wrestle with rivals competing for mates.
Would this frog suit a home?
Use documented captive-bred stock, small live prey and specialist mantella husbandry. Avoid assuming that a hot tropical dart-frog setup suits this species.
Only consider legally obtained, captive-bred animals. Check permits and restrictions where you live, test the habitat first, and arrange an amphibian-experienced vet. This brief profile is not a complete husbandry sheet.
