Thread: 2 Whites tree frogs in one terrarium

    Default 2 Whites tree frogs in one terrarium

    Today I bought another whites tree frog. The new one is smaller than the one I've had for few years, but not so small that the old one would be able to eat it.
    So, I am a bit worried will the older one attack the new one. I just fed the old one so hopefully he wont think that the new one is prey. So, is there any way to get them used to each other? Like the way that the old one wont try to attack the new one?
    The tank is also quite large so I don't think space is a problem...

    Hello,

    I have four whites tree frogs in my set up and introduced two of them in when I got them. I have never had any problems with aggression or anything like that and they all seem to get along together really well.

    Just keep an eye on them, especially at night to see if you spot any trouble

    Thanks! And yeah, I think I am going to keep an eye on them trough the night.
    My older one is just so aggressive: I feed him often so I don't think he is hungry but he always tries to bite anything that moves.

    I had one like that but he improved when he was put with other whites so fingers crossed that might help!

    I have a similar situation: my big frog sometimes nips at the smaller one, but it doesn't seem to bother the small one. (Not enough to keep him from sitting on the big frog anyway.) So go for it, but watch them.

    Always quarantine new additions for a minimum of 30 days. Otherwise you risk introducing pathogens to your other pets. As long as the new frog is bigger than 50% of the size of the other frog, you should be okay.
