    Default other frogs to go with firebellied toads?

    im aware of the firebelly toads toxins so im not just going to add any frogs in there that im not absoulutely sure of. so far the only frog i can think of to go with them would be a leapord frog because someone told me they would go together ok. another frog im thinking of putting with it is a whites tree frog but im really uneasy about that because only 1 person told me they were ok together and they just said they read it somewhere that they were ok together. is there anything at all i can put with my firebellys that wont die from the toxins? would like a quick answer so i can research the frog lots because i like to know alot about my frog before i buy it.

    1.) Never mix species of reptiles and amphibians

    2.) leopard frog: It would have the same care requirements, but would die from the toxins and possibly parasites/pathogens

    3.) whites tree frog? Totally different care requirements. plus would die from toxins.

    Again, never mix species. Ever. Only 1 species per enclosure. There has been numerous other threads recently on this subject, read em. Sorry if I'm sounding harsh, Just trying to help

    ya i get what you mean, i found it kinda crazy for a whites tree frog and firebellied toad to be together to, but apparently the guy thought it was possible so though i might aswell ask. would like another answer for the leapord frog because a few people have told me they keep theres together and its good.

    As Dalton said, no different species of amphibians can be kept together. The lepard frog MAY be living with the FBT's, but the toxins from the too, will eventually kill them.

    Is it benifical to keep different species of amphibians together? NO

    CAN you? YES

    SHOULD you? NO

    If you have the animals well being in mind, you will not mix species.

    Never mix species. All toads produce toxins that can harm or kill any other animal except their own species. Its a dangerous game and you'll end up with one of the species dead. In a lot of cases paralisis.
