    Default Keeping Whites Tree frog in bad conditions?

    Ok so this place the Science Factory (its a place for kids to discover science) Has A terrarium that is Housing 3 armadillo lizards, at least one anole that i could seeand a golden gecko and at least one Whites tree frog. I thinkit was a whites it was medium size and looked Fat lol
    The Substrate is potting soil straight from the hardware store with the white filler pebbles and everything. There is small plats everywhere it is well planted with things like mini bamboo the spiraly kind, and other small plants, there is NO water in the enclousre that i could see.
    What im worried about is the 4 different animal types living in here together.
    Should I worry
    i looked at the care sheets and aside from the gecko they are similar but the thing that worries me is i just called and double checked what they had in there and they dont even know the names of all the lizards i had to tel her about the armadillo lizard...
    So if this isnt safe for the frog, Which they didnt even remember they had they said the turnaround is high there on the lizard tank...
    Should I go down there and offer help or what should i do?
    They tank is amazing its huge and handmade from oak its truly stunning.. but im worrieed about whats inside it...

    So people seem to be reading this but not a single reply... Am I wrong to think this frog is in a bad environment? Please I just want to know if it's worth saying something to the place about or not.

    Well clearly its not optimum conditions for this white's, but there's factors you'd have to know like how long have these animals been together, if its only recent then talking to the place might prevent potential future problems; however if these animals have all been living with each other well long term without any problems, it might not be as bigger deal as you think.

    Im also not sure how big the tank is, you say its huge so if it really it could be acting like a little community in there, because tree frogs are always going to come across other animals in the wild, aslong as there aren't predators like snakes in there which could eat the frogs and anoles.

    If conditions are that worrying, there's only so much you can do. You could offer your concern over the animals wellbeing but you can't take the animals away or anything extreme. At the end of the day, its distressing to see yourself and possibly stressing for the animals but there are always animals in much worse conditions in some pet stores every where.

    It is hard to give a definitive answer as I have not seen this place, but I hope this reply will offer another perspective on the matter.

    I think it's the snakes which should be aware of the frogs lol

    Well I emailed them and they assured me they consult with experts and told me I could volunteer if I wanted to care for them... Just a bunch of corporate bs giving me the no animals were harmed talk... At least I tried. I don't have to time to volunteer but I hope my email opens their eyes a bit and maybe they will change things up a bit.
