Letting a tree frog into the wild.

[Chelspaz]

I have a bunch of gray tree frogs and a couple green tree frogs. I'm only keeping a couple grays and planning to release the others from where I found their tadpoles. I was wondering what the general rule is for when the best time is for letting them back into the wild. I've heard after they morphed completely but the tree frogs are so darn small. I guess other tree frogs survive just fine that small in the wild. I'm just concerned for my little guys and wanted to see what kind of feedback I could get. Thanks in advance.

i am not sure, i have Grays also. i have heard you should do it early, but i would want to know they can hunt before i did. that is just my instinct. ?

Yea. I don't know. Like I said, that all happens naturally in the wild, you know? Maybe I'm just over thinking it. Lol.

The earlier the better. Once the emerge from the water and absorb their tail it's Tim to consider releasing them back where you found them.

Ok. Thanks DigitalPunk!

I also have another question. I know cohabitation of two different species is usually a nono, but I've noticed that green tree frogs and gray tree frogs cohabitate closely in the wild quite successfully. So say if I kept 2 grays and 1 green, would that work out okay?

[DigitalPunk]

That is a personal preference. I personally don't mix species.

But as a general rule. If the care needs for them are the same and one frog is not smaller than the others. You might be on. I still say do t do it but I'm not your boss

Before you release your frogs, you want to make sure to keep them in a period of quarantine to avoid
releasing a possibly diseased frog but the chances are slim if they are taken care of properly

Thanks DigitalPunk. And I will keep that in mind Bombina Bob.
