I have an Exo Terra enclosure 45 x 45 x 60 cm and I'm looking for communal tree frogs? Also how many would be a healthy number to put in an enclosure this size? Cheers Guys!

I suppose it depends a lot on the size of the frogs.
I have a Whites, and I'd probably do a MAX of 3 in one that size, but even then that could be to many.

BluetongueDan Keeps a multitude of froggys, he may have a better answer for that though.

I kept 4 Peacock Tree Frogs in a 45x45x60 for a while.
They had plenty of space in there!
But like Kehhlyr said, It would really depend on what frogs you want.

I was thinking of the whites tree frog. Do you think 2 would be fine together in that size enclosure?

Whites are fine together if you try and pare up individuals of similar size - they can be cannibalistic and eat smaller frogs (or anything that fits in their mouths) If you get them the same size 2 juveniles should be fine for a while in that size exo terra - unlike some snakes with most amphibians the more space you can give them the better really.

Cool thanks for that lewy. I do have a lot of research to do before I Get them but I'll get some photos up when I do.

Coast to Coast in Darlington have some Squirrel Treefrogs in (think tiny American Green Tree Frogs) You could probably get 5 in your tank!

.....just a thought
