Do frogs get lonely?

[UncleChester]

My gray treefrogs pretty much ignore each other, and treat each other as furniture.

However, having another frog in there reduces the chances that any crickets will go unnoticed and manage to hide somewhere in the cage, die, and stink up the place. This is justification enough for adding another gray treefrog to the party. Maybe a female would be best if your (hyla's) husband isn't on board with the frogs. A male calling might be an irritant (my girlfriend and I quite enjoy the calling though).

.....There are no frogs that are accountants, computer programmers or film directors and even though they jump well, there are no frogs in the NBA.

This would make a great Disney movie. Especially if directed by a frog.

This was a very interesting debate and I'm glad the question was asked in the first place. Please forgive me the reptilian brain remark, since MY reptilian brain has been fried the past ten days from a bout with bronchitis. I have worked with people who associate emotions and animals so close as to make themselves ill. We see this in a well-known animal defense group where members relive ie. resuffer perceived abuse and treatment of creatures. A level head and complete knowledge of animals and their behavior must be learned before defending their status. It's always nice to have a pair or trio of any critter in an enclosure and if they don't eat each other, get adequate amounts of food and find their comfortable space then all is right in their world.

And what a debate it has been! Little did I know asking if frogs are social creatures would spark such a fury in some people!!! It has been interesting, and I wonder if anyone else will chime in...
As for myself, I found my tree frog last May on my porch so getting another will depend on if I find another one there this year or not! I doubt they would be the same size though considering Hyla is much more, shall we say, "hearty" now that she is indoors.
She was the mason jar frog if anyone remembers the story. I found her, put her in the jar to show my mother and then put her back where I found her but left the jar. The next morning she was back in the jar...and she continued to hunt at night on the porch and then proceed to go back inside the jar during the day. She did this for two weeks until I decided I was going to snatch her up!
