Housing frogs together-how to tell apart?
This is a question that I'm curious about and haven't seen addessed on these forums. For those of you here who house the same species together (probably everyone but me)-be it Hyla cinerea, Bombina orientalis, Hyla versicolor, etc. (please excuse any spelling errors), does anyone have trouble telling your frogs apart? I would like to get a 18x18x24 Zoo Med tank to house my American Green Tree frog and I
hope to get two more AGTFs as housemates. My concern however is that then I
won't be able to tell who my beloved original frog is.Different species of frogs have very characteristic traits to tell them apart from one another.... However it seems to me it would be hard tell frogs apart (generally speaking) within the same species. Obviously if there's color variables it's easier...But I don't think there's really much color variable within American Green Tree frogs.
You can't really use size as a variable from telling Fido apart from Rover, as you're supposed to house frogs of the same size together so that they don't eat each other. Does anyone have any methods of telling your frogs apart from one another? Or do do just accept that once you group frogs together,
Fido and Rover cease to be individuals, but instead become part of the collective frog herd?
