    Default cohabitation

    I have an intermediate level of experience keeping herps and amphibians and this is not something that I would ever usually consider, but I have to ask. Can a similarly sized tomato frog be kept with a similarly sized wtf? I know about the appetite of the wtf and the noxious excretions from the tomatoes, but would they bother each other in a well-planted, large viv? If heat were provided from above, the higher temps for the wtf would be met while maintaining the temps for the tomato down below. Thoughts? Like I said, I don't really go for cohabitation of different species, but I'm curious.

    Thanks

    Myself do not consider mixing any frog species a good idea. A local shop has a tank dedicated to baby tomato frogs for sale. When they are out of Tomatoes, the enclosure remains empty. They learned the hard way, that keeping other frogs in there, even when no Tomatoes were present got other frogs sick .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    No, definitely not. Tomato Frogs are toxic and they have different husbandry needs. Not to mention the cross contamination of internal biofauna would provide health risks for both animals.

    Nope! They are not even from the same continent. One is from Austalia and the other South America.
