Green tree frog mix with vampire crab in terrarium

[blacksnow]

Hi ,

I am doing a vivarium project so would like to know whether can i mix gtf and vampire crabs?

How big is your vivarium going to be? If the tank is big enough it should not be a problem.

In my opinion in the long run it's kinda small for tree frogs. As they are arboreal frogs. Your tank needs to be taller.
Tree frogs climb alot and if your tank is low they have the tendency to burrow soil. You also have to ensure your crabs won't be their meal or the other way round your frogs won't be bitten by the crabs.

Thanks for your advise

If you increase the height quite nicely, you might create two niches where two different species will dwell and not interact, which is to your benefit.

That being said, mixing any sort of exotic is a bad idea...they are carnivorous and mentally primitive for good reasons.

Also, should the white's eat the crab, you will likely have a vet surgery case in order.

its perfectly ok to mix these two , just make sure proper lighting and water

Not an issue at all.
I have 3 units of paludariums/vivariums housing GTF and vampire crabs.

Thanks for the advice. I already put in the crabs and they wonder around like mad. But 1 thing i believe they don't really like to stay in the water.
