Because their stomachs cannot process plant matter. Also, in order to get their poison, they have to eat fire ants. They synthesize the poison of these ants into their own for defensive purposes.

Are poison dart frogs carnivores?

Yes, they are carnivores. Despite what the previous answerer said, they do not eat plants and do not get their poison from milkweed, which I might mention is not even indigenous to the countries they are found in. All frogs and toads are carnivores only. They eat fire ants to get their poison and process it into their own.
