Tree Frog Help "PLEASE"

HerpinChic13 Jun 28, 2004 01:05 AM

Ok...I have some gray tree frogs and green tree frogs i caught after a rain we me and the Hubby went road collecting...they are all doing great i have had them now for about a year.My Question is...Can i put any other type of tree frogs in with these frogs i know they are known to eat other frogs. so that is why i am asking if there is any other type of tree frog i can put in there cage setup. We go to alot of Reptile shows and i see some pretty cool tree frogs and would love to get some but i don't want to do that if they will not live healthy lives with the tree frogs i already have. So is there anyone out there who can answer my question for me. I know alot about snakes and lizards just don't know a whole lot about tree frogs well frogs in general. so anyones help would be great.

No, there is nothing you can put w/ them, you shouldn't even mix the greens and greys if that is what your are doing. Personally i find it much more pleasing to set up different tanks for different animals. good luck

While it is generally inadvisable to mix different species of tree frogs (or any amphibians for that matter), it is possible to mix some species together if these stipulations are met:

(a) the species come from the same/similar geographical areas and natural environments,

(b)if wild-caught, the species have been treated with ant-parasitic medication,

(c) the specimens are the same approximate size (and will remain that way),

(d)behaviorally, none of the species are excessively aggressive or will attempt to swallow objects larger than the width of their mouths, and

(e)the species have enough space in their enclosure to permit for adequate territory for all of them (the smaller the species, the less space each will require).

Cheers.
