(Hot topic) Mixing frogs in the same enclosure

[Amy91]

Hello,

A few months ago i aquired a young whites tree frog and i love him!! My question for you guys is what frogs could i place with him?
I know this is a hot topic but I am looking into a large enclosure for him and others may aquire. I don't want to make a mistake in getting the enclosure and frogs if it will damage them.

I strongly recommend only other White's. Even frogs in the same genus like the white lipped tree frog can't live with them safely.

Welcome to the forum Like what Eli said, its best to keep the whites to a species only tank. I've been to several zoos and aquariums and whenever species are mixed, they are either in a ridiculously large vivarium that is close to 20' wide deep or long or the species mixed inhabit different niches, The only species of frogs that can be safely mixed together are the green tree frogs (Hyla cinera) and grey tree frogs (Hyla versicolor) but its best to keep them seperate.

Hello and welcome to FF Amy ! We advice against mixing species due to issues of matching parameters, different frog toxicity, and stress. You can keep more than one White as long as enclosure is large enough and they are similar sized to avoid one eating each other .

Thanks guy.
The reason i asked is because i was planning on making a 5ft by 3 foot enclosure if i was to get more in it.
Being new to this the information i have seen is very mixed.

Mixing frogs from the same region is plausible given a big tank with lots of plant cover. Mixing non-locale frogs often results in stress or potential cannibalism
