    They are unlikely to eat any poisonous plants, but just make sure that the sap of any species you use won't hurt them, either, if they do break them.

    The only thing I'll say is that tomato frogs have been known to destroy planted cages. One of my staff members is absolutely in love with them, and while he does have a couple of planted cages for his, he rebuilds them / touches them up every week because they make a mess of the cage.

    Best of luck, have fun with them!

    Thankyou for the information on the plants.

    I think I may know the staff member you are talking about, he is the guy in the "LLLReptiles Tomato Frog Care Video".

    I don't think the Tomato frogs will destroy the plants if they are placed correctly and the vivarium is given time to grow in. They will not burrow and dig things up if they are provided with many places to hide.

    If I also may say, the care video you guys have on youtube is very inaccurate, it is mentioned and shown in the video to keep Tomato frogs on dried orchid bark chips and dried sphagnum moss, two of the absolute worst substrates you could possible keep a frog on.

    Bark chips are hard and sometimes sharp, so they can scratch or cut the frog, and sphgnum moss is an impaction risk.
