Tree frogs - how many per gallon/cubic cm?

[EmJay]

Is there any way to offer education to the buyer from the site?

It's very tricky, in general. I might add another question to the site, and assuming the seller approves it, the info would be there for the buyer. If not, the only other recourse is to wait until/if the buyer has an auction running, and then contact them on that auction (which often leads to some surreal conversations! "For Sale: Manly Trucks, Guns, & BBQs Magazine" - "Hi, I was just looking at your auction 'Pink Fluffy Unicorn Snuggle Pillow', & was wondering if you have any in blue?" *LOL*).

I'll give it a go, anyway.

Well, I threw together a quick webmail address and posted that on the auction with an offer of help should the buyer need it. We'll see how it goes (auction ends Tuesday).

I ended up buying these frogs, I agree that they shouldn't all be in the same terrarium, but on average they're about 1-3 cm long.. am keeping them quarantined, then will split them between Froakie's terrarium/ tank also there ended up only being 6! The seller miscounted.

The seller obviously had no experience with frogs (haha, here I am saying that... I've barely had any) and was going off "pet shop advice".

I'm trying my best now to make these frogs healthy and happy

EmJay, I don't suppose in the future you'd be interested in possibly taking on one or two of the newcomers? I bought the frogs with the intention of keeping a few as companions, and onselling the rest as I'm already finding looking after 7 frogs difficult!

I think 3 per mini would do for a while, depending on how big they get...

Ha, I keep hearing that from a *lot* of people! Got to wonder what advice some of these pet shops are offering on the other types of animals they sell...

The fact that you're researching them at all puts you miles ahead of some frog owners I've met... But this is a really good place for advice.

Hm.. I currently only have 1 Exo Terra mini, and a little quarantine tank - I can't put juvenile frogs in with a mostly-grown Froggley; the size difference might lend itself to disaster. That's one of the reasons I didn't bid on the auction myself - I was browsing for a new terrarium, so buying more frogs would have just meant needing to buy... another new terrarium. (And lights. And plants. And substrate. And...) It probably wouldn't change my food bill much to get another one or two, but I can't really afford to set up another vivarium right now, sorry. :-\ If that situation unexpectedly changes any time soon, I'll let you know.
