Planet Zoo 2 Lehmann's Poison Frog — habitat, biome, size & which animals it can live with

Lehmann's Poison Frog is one of the 130 Planet Zoo 2 launch species. It is housed in a Exhibit habitat, accepts the Rainforest biome, carries a no barrier requirement and is listed at 0.03 m (length). It shares a biome and an enclosure type with 13 other species, but the official species data rules out every one of those pairings, so it needs a habitat of its own.

Enclosure and barrier requirements

Lehmann's Poison Frog needs a Exhibit enclosure and accepts the Rainforest biome. The barrier requirement is none at all, and that is the number to check before building: a Grade 4 animal behind a Grade 1 wall is the most common way a first zoo stalls.

Which animals can live with the Lehmann's Poison Frog?

Lehmann's Poison Frog shares a biome and an enclosure type with 13 other species, but every one of those pairings is ruled out by the official data, because one side of each pair is officially solitary.

Same biome, but not compatible

13 of the species that accept the Rainforest biome cannot share an enclosure with the Lehmann's Poison Frog, because one side of the pair is officially solitary. These are the pairings people ask about most, so they are spelled out rather than left as an unexplained gap.

Close, but ruled out by enclosure type

24 species share at least one biome with the Lehmann's Poison Frog but use a different enclosure type — a land habitat against an aquarium or a flying aviary — so they cannot be mixed however well the biomes line up.

Behaviour, size and weight

Lehmann's Poison Frog is classed as Solitary in Frontier's Social & Reproduction notes: “Lehmann's poison frogs are solitary animals, only interacting with other frogs in order to mate.” On size the game lists 0.03 m (length) for the male and 0.03 m for the female. Size and weight together decide the minimum habitat footprint, so use the female figure when you are sizing a breeding pair rather than a display animal.
