 Co-housing frogs and tadpoles
I have two African Clawed Frogs that are 1+ years old. They are longer than my middle finger stretched out and I wanted to house them with a bullfrog tadpole who is their size and has no signs of development yet. Does anyone think this is a bad idea?

Yes, bad idea... unless you monitor them extremely carefully. The bigger that bullfrog tadpole gets the greater the likelihood of it eating the ADFs. Be careful.

actualy there is no chance of the tadpole eating them, but there is a risk of them eating the tadpole. Also they are from different locals there is a chance of one carrying something the other can catch and has no imunity to, there is a chance of stressing one or the other out as well, when that tadpole does become a frog, it will eat them bullfrogs eat anything they can glom onto.

In general, mixing species is a bad idea.

actually tadpoles will eat anything they can, so it isn’t a stretch to say they might nip at the adf’s toes, but he wouldn’t eat them. however, the adfs might snack on his tail as well. needless to say they will stress each other out in all likelihood and bullfrog tads get huge
