    see, i think they actually do form some sort of bond. i originally bought 3 white's, two nights later, one escaped. i never did find him. i had another escapee and and after correcting my security issue, found him. those 2 spent about 2 months together until their new tank was done. in the meantime, i had purchased another 3. they were in quarantine for about 2 days, and the other guys were in their new tank when lo and behold, i found my other lost frog. i put him in quarantine with the other 3 guys, mainly because he was so tiny. so those 4 spent a month in quarantine together. now, those four are always hanging out together, and the other two are inseparable. occasionally, the first two will interact with the other four, but for the most part, they have their own little cliques.......LOL

    so my answer would be to get him a companion

    I am so glad to have read that. It's a social experiment and now I'm really glad I got two frog. Ernie n Bert never even looked at each other at first but now they hang out together on the shelf.

    I see no reason that it would be a problem mixing the 2 species since the they both have no toxins emitted from there bodies but I would quarantine them first and than introduce them after. Because I have a newt and my frog in the same habitat and have been fine for over a year now. Just change there water bowl accurately and they should be fine.
