    Default Bufo cohabitation

    I know some Bufo can hybridize, so would it be safe to say that different species could be safely housed together? I'm thinking American, Woodhouse, Fowler's, and the Great Plains toads in particular, so the habitat is all roughly equivilant.

    Oh, and off the topic, but I saw a video where someone grew crabgrass in his tank. I could see it being annoying for feeding, but as I mostly hand/tong feed (with a few rogue crickets left in for surprise hunting), it shouldn't be a big concern. She seems to prefer the open, plain areas of her tank, I often feel torn between her comfort and aesthetics. If anyone's willing to critique it, I might take a few photos of the tank and see if there's anything that could be changed.

    I have Southern and Fowlers together with no problem. They've been together for at least a year.

    My rule of thumb is that if they're found in the same habitat and can hybridize, it should be fine. The biggest concern at that point would just be that one toad isn't too much bigger than another. Toads will cannibalize each other, as a heads up. :S

    Granted, they're not bufos, but I do keep Plains and NM Spadefoots together without any problems. I think it can work out well.
