I agree that all frogs can secrete something and the level of toxicity will vary. I would suggest reading up more on herpology articles about secretion in tree frogs' skin on Google Scholar.
My only concern is that you are taking something from the wild and mixing it into a captive bred. This can be fatal, but thats your money to wager. I would rather be safe than sorry for the sake of the animal.
the biggest mistake anyone can make is taking a wild caught animal and mixing with captive bred for several reasons;captive bred are very susceptible because they do not have much of an immunity system and foreign disease and parasites can quickly become fatal before you can even notice the signs.
Its the same devestation someone gets when they introduce their new wild caught fish to their aquarium community and the next morning all of them are dead because of ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis)
Hookworms are very common in fecal matter and they can spread to any animal in the enclosure (they dont discriminate). once this happens you will have a big vet bill to pay for all of your infected animals.
