Can Gray Treefrogs live with Clown Treefrogs?

[scribbles]

I am getting a Clown Treefrog, and I was just wondering if I could put him with my Gray Treefrog froglets when they are older.

Not a good idea. First of all, an adult gray treefrog can eat and adult clown treefrog. Second, since they come from totally two different eco-zones/continents its not a good idea to mix them there is a significant risk of cross-infection. Third, being two different amphibian species there is a risk of cross-contamination. I have not read anything about the toxicity of either species, but why risk cross-contamination.

Thank you for the info. I will set them up separate tanks.

[Kurt]

You're welcome. A clown treefrog enclosure really doesn't have to be all that big, as they are a very small frog.

Would a 5.5 work for 1? I don't know that much about them.

[Kurt]

I think it would work for two, maybe three.

Wow! How big are they?

[Kurt]

Male: 33 mm (1.3 inches); Female: 44 mm (1.7 inches)

Wow that's small! Thank you.

[Kurt]

Yes, they are small. I guess you weren't expecting them to be.

No I wasn't. I was going to research them in my spare time today.
