If I were to find some wild Gray treefrog tadpoles, raise them into froglets, and then place them into a large paludarium containing Western clawed frogs (tropicalis), what is the likelihood that the treefrogs would pass parasites or bacteria onto the clawed frogs?
And, assuming that there is some likelihood of this happening what, if anything, could I do to treat these treefrogs that would prevent it from happening?
I am looking for specific information please, rather than general opposition to the concept of mixing species.
The paludarium is quite large and well planted, and the treefrogs would be well past the size of predation by the tropicalis, which are fairly small themselves.
This paludarium is built for treefrogs, but I'm not going to do it if it is likely to kill the tropicalis.
