I had some once i feed mine small dusted crickets. if they are captive breed you sould not have to worry about them having any poison in their systems. they really are not that hard to care for just make sure that you don't have to high of humidity it tend to grow alot of mold and open them up to bacterial infections. good luck and have fun they are awesome animals.

poison dart frogs get their poison by eating certain insects in the rain forest, so they (as with many reptiles/frogs) lose their posion in captivity.
I've always wanted one, good luck with em.
