    I'd wait to hear from John, Kurt, or one of the other more experienced/knowledgeable members on this one but, from what I have read and based on a catastrophic personal experience it's never a good idea to keep frogs of different species in the same enclosure. Maybe your situation is different because they are all from N America but I don't know. Anyway the sound is nice, I have 1 white's about 30 feet away 2 american green tree frogs, and they croak like crazy at night time, however I'm a light sleeper and I am often awaken by the noise and it always takes me a good 10 15 seconds to figure out whats going on!

    You should not mix species, or even different morphs of the same species.

    Hm but is it possible to atleast own a spring peeper or a chorus frog? For some reason I have a feeling its impossible. But i would like to find out. If I cant have either then id probably go with a green treefrog. I just like the constant sound. I also like the gray treefrog but the chorus and the peepers are my fav.

    Absolutely, as long as you keep the same species together you can keep whatever you want. Within your local laws of course.

    I want to keep captive bred though. Idk if anyone breeds any of em. I kinda wanna set up the terrarium either like a garden. Or a wetland forest(with orchids and such). I just want the tank heavily planted. I have REALLY bad luck with plants. I do not know why. But they all tend to die on me. I love orchids and such. But I wanna make the tank be more "wetland" like be in a warm climate all year round. Just because it kinda feels easier. I like american toads too. so that would be my last option if everything seems bleak in the care department. I dont want to feed the frogs a ton of pinheads or fruitflies. I just want simple cricket, worm eating frogs. :U Ones that will most likely call alot. That can adapt to the environments I just said. That can live past 8years. That I can see daily, and wont hide for the rest of their lives. Personally I think its pointless to keep something that you never get to see. Because then you could just have a terrarium and SAY you have said frog. You know?
    So here is my order of which id keep:

    -Chorus frog
    -Spring peeper
    -Green treefrog/american toad (they're tied)
    -gray treefrog
    -pine barrens

    I have a male Pacific Chorus Frog and the noises he makes are absolutely amazing. I could listen to a 100 of them every night! Sometimes it sounds like he is mumbling to himself, and other times he is full out calling for that elusive female. Other times, he makes the same noise as the creepy sounds in the movie "The Ring"....freaks out my guests and it's great!!

    I don't know what this means. I have darts that are very secretive and I see them all the time. I have Black Eyed Leaf Frogs that are fiercely nocturnal, yet I see and hear them every night for hours. I have Chorus Frogs and I don't see them any more than my other frogs. They just have different schedules and certain active periods. Most have several periods of activity throughout the day, or night. No species will conform to your schedule or be visible at the moment that you want to see them.

    I wouldn't even want one calling peeper in my bedroom. At a few feet away, they are loud enough to make my ears hurt. I'm happy hearing a swampfull of them call about 500 feet away out my window. Maybe one a few rooms away would be ok.

    A gray treefrog calling in my bedroom works ok, I can sleep through it. They aren't at all active during the day though, unless it's feeding time. They'll do some exploring after the lights go out.

    Keep researching, and be sure to find a species that you'll enjoy caring for for many years.

    I was looking for a treefrog,frog, toad that would be somewhat active during when I have the lights on. I kinda keep the lights on at night and I cover the tank at day.

    Do they treat their animals for parasites? Or do I have to personally do that? Im thinking of getting oak toads. Aslong as they arent overly priced. What is the oak toad price range? Little dimples are so cute! Makes me just wanna hug em, though I cant. XD sorry lack of sleep has put me in a weird mood.
    P.s. how hardy are these toads? What can I expect from them? Can I put in a water feature for them?

    Some vendors deworm, most don't. I would ask Glades if they do. They will know more than I in this case. As far as their care see Toad Basic Care
