    Sorry no I did not know what species of frog u had thats why I asked

    Yes they will eat eachother if they are hungry and can fit them in thier mouths. Its always best to house same species of around same size. Im sorry for you loss !

    Could the anoles have eaten it I've heard of salamanders and frogs eating eachother?

    What size terrarium? make sure you dont cram them I've been told 10gallons per frog and since you have mixed species the might need more to avoid stress and aggression.

    Hope this helped =)

    hiya rae and thanks tank is 24x18x24 size you had thought, thing is that the anolies eat a lot during the day mainly locusts if im honest now i had put crickets in for the two frogs at night tried it various ways and did not seem like they were eating, for example, when i had put some in a small glass bowl to stop them escaping next morning all crickets and even wax worms were still there, this occurred for few days running now at night i put in some loose but concerned in case there are just hiding in the moss if you know what i mean. not convinced the frog is eating as such, i was advised to dish the crickets as if i just put them in the tank then they may bite the tree frogs..........thats what i get for being a rescue lady haha

    The crickets for the froggies are they still alive? Ive been told frogs will likely ignore dead ones they like the hunt... the moving prey.... lil froggy may have been more appealing to hunt =(

    hmm yours is a 63 gallon very nice =)

    oh and i forgot to ask how big are your crickets? I read a good rule is no food longer than the width between the froggies eyes.... but if they are stressed due to there lizard roommates... new terrarium... or any changes recently... they may not feel up to eating =(

    You also dont need to get a friend for him they are pretty solitary lil guys that like there space. You could put one in a 55 gal and he'd probably be in heaven by himself till he's looking for a lady lmao!

    hi there the anolies are very small indeed the tree frog has a larger body mass body in the anolies maybe poss on 3 inches and a bit extra for the tail, as i say they are getting all the day time grub.

    The crickets were live when in the tank also, hmm 43 gallon too small for 2 wee anolies and the one frog jesus i just rescued them and had rescued the two fire bellied toads and ended up spending over 800 dollars.........don't worry there in a diff tank pic i put on for them in the fire belly section......i cant expand tank size for the tree frog again as far as i am aware max size he will get is 2 to 2 half inches........my house is full haha

    you reckon its best to throw what 5 or 6 crickets in every second night to make sure he eats or less? crickets are hmm let me see about medium size 3 poss that's uk size not too big at all as the next size down is minuscule (beyond tiny) scuse the scottish pun haha

    Have you found the 2nd frog yet? One of mine had gone into hiding since I changed the landscape around. They hide well and are sometimes very hard to locate without disturbing things.

    I put my crickets right in with my Whites and let them hunt during the night.
    I'm sure I have some living in the moss.
