red eye tree frogs and poison dart frogs

Question
I have a huge terrarium and i set it up for frogs.... I love red eye tree frogs but I also love poison dart frogs... I'm on limited space so I can't get another enclosure, so can you keep those two together?

Answer
Hello Amber,

No, poison dart frogs must be housed ONLY with other poison dart frogs & not with any other species at all.  They are poisonous & should not be housed with anything else.
I would choose either one or the other type of frog if you are limited on space.  It is not fair to house different species together especially one that is non poisonous with one that is as it could be harmed.  

I hope this helps out.
