I have a very large /tall tank set up with a white tree frog /3 anoles. I have 2 firebelly toads in a seperate tank and a green tree frog in a 3rd tank. I ordered a red eyed tree frog for my collection . What I need to know is can I put the red eyed tree frog with any of the others so it is not alone ? I know that the firebelly toads need to be seperate from everyone.But what about the white tre frog and anoles? Please help Thanks Sue

Hey you should remove the anoles with the frog, you should not mix any species with other species. The anoles could eat the frog no matter what you say or if you think their feeling fine, because no one knows what their really feeling. You should put the 3 anoels in their own tank and the new retf in it's own tank.

Hi Sue,

I would recomend keeping the red-eyed tree frog seperate, especially if it's wild-caught. They are more sensative than the species you keep now and would not work well when kept together with them. Frogs do not need company and often do best in captivity when they are alone. Another frog means more competition for food and territory, not a friend to socialize with.

Regarding the other species, it would be best to seperate the White's tree frogs and the anoles. Not because the anoles will eat the frogs as suggested in the reply below, but because the frogs have potential to eat the anoles. White's tree frogs have large mouths and are known to eat everything from your average cricket to fuzzy mice. If your anoles are adults rather than smaller juveniles there is probably less of a chance that the frog will try to eat them, but there are other reasons to keep them seperate such as they both do best in slightly different captive environments and they both eat different sized food items. Good luck,
