    Question Combinations?

    What tree frogs live well or are absolutely okay to live together? I've heard and read a few different things online and off and I want to be sure of combining.

    In general you shouldn't mix different species, especially amphibians, as different species have different toxins and they can pick up everything through their skin. Also, treefrogs naturally avoid each other in the wild because they are competitors. If you put different species in a tank together it would likely cause them great stress.

    As mentioned above it is never a good idea to mix species. HOWEVER, the only two species that I would find to be typically okay to mix together would be Green Tree Frogs and Grey Tree Frogs. They typically tend to be found in the same areas and are not toxic to one another. As far as other species go, nothing else I don't think would be compatible to mix.

    a gray tree frog will eat a green tree frog even in a big enclosure they will still come across each other.

    As adults the gray tree frog and green tree frog are about the same size. In the wild their natural habits overlap each other, anyways.

    American Greens get bigger than Greys not by much but it would be the other way around.

    Same care requirements for both but still not recommended ever to mix... but these are the only two that might be ok... make sure they are VERY close to the same size if you insist on putting them together.

    Is my gray tree frog a freak of nature?? Just measured her after reading this thread, She's an 1/8 of an inch shy of 3 inches. Plus she's FAT and MUCH larger than any green tree frogs I've ever seen at pet shops.
