I am thinking about getting a zebra finch I saw for sale, thing is right now I only have 1 cage which my pet tree frog is currently using, it is big enough for them to share but I need to know if a zebra finch would try to eat my frog.

Tree frogs are poisoness. You don't want to risk it. Those are not pets you put together. if you can't afford a finch cage, do not get the finch.
P.S. finches are happiest when there is a few of them.

A zebra finch will not try to eat the frog, but it will poop a lot (compared to a frog), which could cause problems with hygiene. If you can figure out how to keep the frog's habitat clean, it could be all right.

Well, I'm used to saying this in the reptile section, but due to differences in housing, temperature, and humidity needs for these two animals, it is not suggested that you house them in the same cage.
I'm not 100% sure that a treefrog would be poisonous to your finch, and I don't know why a seed-eating bird would be interested in eating a frog, but there's always the possibility of disease transferrance as well....
Not the brightest idea.

odds are the frog is to big for the bird to eat, but I wouldn't put it past the bird to peck at it and hurt your frog. You'd be best to wait until you could get a separate cage.

They don't go together. Regardless of that..finches should be in pairs.

wouldnt the bird crap on the frog, in its water, food, etc. cant imagine that would be good for it.
