Due to the extensive range of which different frogs occur and the levels of toxicity that they demonstrate, it's almost certainly a variety of things that give them their neurotoxins, varying from ants, to beetles, to any other small arthropod), there is no reason why a dart frog wouldn't be able to eat a fire ant. read more

What I have done in research and asking a lot of questions, and I know everytone has said ths already, but fire ants can make your frogs poisonous. BUT within 6 or 7 months of eating these ants, they usually die. The toxins in these ants can not be fully digested by PDFs. read more
The ants that the frogs eat to create the toxins are considerably different and have very different diets than the local ants (I am in southern California). Most of the ants that lead to the producing of the toxins have a particular alkaloid diet, and it is the alkaloid base chemicals which the frogs turn into the toxin. read more
