Great for toads, but they will most likely wind up eating the tree frog...

[frogmandan]

well for some reson its what the fish and wildlife admin wants they said put him in there with the toads and that in the wild down here they co exist and they wanted the frog and the toads to do so as well in the viv

[Heatheranne]

Awe .

ok so update::
bruce is in the new viv.
i got one week to strip this tanks and get it ready for my two new and permenate pets

ones a newt and the other is a clawd frog there going to be my permanet pets and i cant wait

They co-exist in a vast forest... not in a 20-40 gallon tank and in a tiny pool of water. Your tree frog is going to get eaten or sick. I can assure you that. Seperate them as in this instant the fish and wildlife guy is wrong.

Toads are voracious, even if they can't fit him in their mouths yet. All it takes is one leg caught in a toad's mouth and that tree frog is either maimned or dead from infection or physical trama.

Cuban tree frogs also secrete a toxin mucus from their skin that causes a strong burning reaction, which once gets in the water source can cause those toads stress which can help make them sick or kill them outright.

[GrifTheGreat]

Not to mention toads are toxic and tree frogs as well. They will make each other sick from the toxins they secrete. Perhaps this wild life guy is no expert. I myself am no expert but this is common sence when it comes to amphibians.

[frogmandan]

well three days ago i did seperate them and the wildlife guy busted me for it i hate getting in truble with them i faced a fine of 1000.00 and maybe even jail time for it depending on coart for failing to comply with fcw regulation to houseing anphibeans
