Can Red Eyed Tree Frogs be housed with poison dart frogs?

[cdfrogs]

I have two baby red eyed tree frogs that are about an inch and I was hoping to add a blue azureus poison dart frog or a bumblebee poison dart frog. I have a 12'x12'x18, terrarium for when they are babies and will get a 18'x18'x24' terrarium for adults or if you guys think I should bigger please tell me.If you have any thoughts on this please share thank you


p.s. of you guys think I should get another type of tree frog and not a poison dart frog please tell me.

Darts and retf's have different care requirements, first and foremost. Darts prefer much higher humidity than most tree frogs can handle. The 18x18x24 is a good size for 2 adult retf's. I personally, would NOT add any creature into a red eye tank with the exception of food. They are far to delicate to mess around with that.

Otherwise, frogs, due to a whole bunch of reasons that I am sure others will chime in with (I hate to hog all the fun lol), should be kept as single species tanks. Enjoy the beauty and the natural behaviors of your new little friends without stressing them out. Stress is one of the biggest killers of amphibians. If you want to keep a second species, a second tank should be in your future.

thanks guys for the the help. But I was wondering if I got a bigger cage for them if I could mix the retfs with some poison dart frogs and if so how big.

This is the best advice one should ever hope for
I only wish that I had this kind of help when I acquired my first red eyed tree frogs.

I'm afraid the answer is simple........NO. They will die if you mix them.
