Grey Tree Frogs need company ?

Different species should not be housed together. They can be toxic to each other, some will be more aggressive, have different care requirements etc.

i know that much about keeping frogs together i was just wondering if anyone has ever kept i small reptile or something similar in their enclosure with grey's.

This comes up every once in a while, and the answer is complicated. It is technically possible to do, but generally considered a very bad idea. In the wild animals are in a constant struggle for territory, and food, and I suspect that in captivity, they will experience the same urges. With that said, provided enough space, it is conceivable that they can cut out enough territory to be satisfied, they do this in zoos regularly... But you are not a zoo, in all likelihood. I wouldn't subject my animals to a territorial war, they have enough trouble acclimating to me, and my cage cleanings, without learning to get along with a species that isn't concerned in the slightest for their well being. My advice, don't try it... Get a second tank, or another gray tree frog.

applies to all reptiles/amphibians, not just different types of frogs. NOT a good idea.

Actually, I think that it applies to more than reptiles and amphibians. Any animals that are not the same species should not be housed together. Different types of fish, like Neon tetras and Tiger barbs for example are very bad species to mix, as are lovebirds and various other common birds. Heck, even two different species of hamster can not be housed together! So when anybody asks me to mix any living thing, I just say no

Well with fish it's obviously not smart to mix peaceful community dwellers with fish that are aggressive. Certain birds can be kept in a mixed aviary, however, if, like the fish, they are matched accordingly in temperament, housing and feeding needs, etc. With hamsters some are community dwellers (certain dwarf breeds) while others, like the standard Golden variety, are solitary. I would never mix different rodent species together (gerbils and hamsters or mice and rats, etc). It all depends on the animals in question, but herps carry so many parasites, and have such differing needs that, unless you are in a zoo environment there is no good reason or ability to keep them successfully in a mixed group, in my opinion.
