May regret posting this (for my non-existent sleep schedule’s sake) but I made the imperfect cuttings package an actual permanent product on the website with limited stock. So you don’t have to contact me to coordinate now, and the “sale” will be going as long as stock is available.

First good leaf in years lol. Finally started fertilizing my plants again.

08/19/2024

Still have over 100 plants bagged up awaiting new homes! Imperfect double value plant packages are still available. You give me a budget, I double the retail value. Weather is good today and tomorrow so please let me, Alex Menke, know.

08/14/2024

So, all the plant orders are slotted to go. Guys…I over harvested, as usual. I have a metric F ton of imperfect cuttings left, some pretty rare stuff as well. If you want a double value package for next week I can definitely swing it…let Alex Menke know. Back into the bin they go.

08/13/2024

Working extremely hard and well into the morning to ensure all pending orders are out by tomorrow. Please know if the tracking number says “Label created, not yet in system”, and doesn’t update in 2 hours, it’s going out tomorrow. I was by myself Monday and today April and I had to tag team over 100 orders and we couldn’t get them all out, so please be patient with us as we catch up! Thank you!

Going to be bringing back my double value cuttings sale! Let me know if you want to grab some plants! Basically how it works is you tell me your budget, and I grab and ship you double the value, grower’s choice.

Pic is of a buyer’s experience with one of our custom packages, which can also be done for any price range or tank size! Let me know in the comments or message Alex Menke.

All plant orders begin shipping August 11th

We have hydei! And they’re SLAMMIN!
Don’t get too excited…
A few things.
1. We are still refining the process to create these without mold and smell. I haven’t had much time to test medias.
2. For now, due to some cultures literally just failing, we will only be selling developing and producing cultures.
3. The price is high, we know. However, these take more time and more media to produce. Until we can reduce costs of development, they will stay at these prices.
4. Summer policies are still in place…I highly recommend either overnighting these or waiting until fall.

But…we wanted to bring you all what you’ve always wanted from us, so here you go. Stay tuned for more improvements on the cultures and media release.

5 of the Pumilio Project breeder setups!

06/28/2024

It begins! 45 pairs will be added to this section out of the 75, slowly but surely!

Main post:
This is an important announcement:
Here at FrogDaddy, I’ve always dreamed of having a genetic bank, of sorts, for every poison frog in the hobby. We are far away from that dream, only due to lack of finances. Over the years, I have shifted my focus to what I am passionate about. Most likely thanks to William Newell, my ex business partner (but still amazing friend), I have fallen in love with small obligates, pumilio specifically.
Many of you have noticed that pumilio have been few and far between, even though we have over 100 pairs. This is because I am taking a new initiative to tie together something financially (somewhat - haha) feasible, and my dream of creating a gene bank for poison frogs. I made the executive decision to start holding back and acquiring more and more small obligates. This has resulted in low stock for the public, and I know it has frustrated many. All the cryptic build-up aside, here is the new initiative:

We will be adding, slowly, 75 additional small obligate pairs to our breeding supply. We hope to include every single locale of pumilio that is represented within the USA. Of course, this is a monumental increase and we must move slowly due to lack of funds. There are still many locales that we have singles of, lost to time, that we hope you all can help with. Over the next week I will post everything we hope the community can come together on. Many small obligate localities are dying out and disappearing from our captive breeding populations. Whether it be greed, pride, or negligence, we need to stop competing so much with each other and work together. I am hopeful that this new initiative comes to fruition, because at FrogDaddy, we are dedicated to preserving captive breeding of poison frogs for years to come.
I want to thank everyone for their patience as we build up pairs, acquire new locales, and pair up disappearing ones, like Uyama River, Rio Teribe, Pastores, and many others. I hope that future onlookers that can help will partner with us to preserve these locales for the next generation of keepers, and that we can keep inspiring for years to come.
Thank you for reading, and be ready in 2026 for a much greater availability!
A special thank you to Josh Yates, of Frog and Frond, for photographing our entire collection, Oophaga and all. This project will hopefully come to a head in the beginning of 2026 as well, to compile a (mostly) complete set of professional photos of Oophaga pumilio.
