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.

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.
