:I have two running tree frogs, a toad, 2 pacman frogs, a Red eyed tree frog, and leaf frog, but I house each one in a ten gallon tank. As for the running tree frogs, and most others, each one has gotten very attached to me to the point I talk to them they look straight up at me..and will JUMP ON MY ARM and not let go. It`s sweet but annoying. I rather not have them jump on me.

:But I house each one in their own fishtank because I worry one may eat more than the other. So I end up handfeeding each of my critters. Each one has their own hideaway hut. Their own personal pool of water.

:In other words I am so attached to each one of my frogs I know they enjoy their own space.

:The biggest challenge is my bullfrog-she gets a HUGE container. I have her in a 50 gallon plastic one now but I plan to get a glass one at the next reptile show (about a dollar a gallon)

::I have a 30g high tank. I'm keeping 5 retf's in that setup for well over half a year now. They are full grown and very healthy. The general rule I've heard for retf's is 1 adult p/5g.

::You may need to change the water more often then twice a week.

10 gallons for each frog?! Give me a break. Each of those frogs needs 20 gallon tanks. Frogs don't have emotions as far as we know. They associate you with food, so of course they look at you. And you shouldn't handle them.
