Hi Stu,
I've found that surrogate pum parenting works. If you place a tad which is healthy in a viv and receptacle which is healthy most likely if the healthy mother finds the tad she will feed it.
Considering the mothers have no way of knowing what tad are theirs' and the fact that two females in the same area /viv will feed each others tads this is not overly surprising.
I have not personally used surrogacy in the last 5-6 years (and never did much before that. It works, but so do most all of my pum parents...) other than when I am sending out a breeding group and I find tads which can not be taken care of other-wise. I'm much for leaving them do their own thing and getting everything right on their own. Usually it is a matter of the right environment and patience.

Darts with parasites are analogous to mixed tanks, there are no known benefits to the frogs with either.
