Still undecided how I want to have their setup so having them on papertowel with a waterbowl for now.


I need to clean glass before taking pictures next time. The fuzzy/blurry spots you see in pictures are water drops on tank glass :o

wow, that glass is dirty, i can barely make out the toads :D



but seriously, great pictures and toads, cant wait to see their future homes!
 
Very nice pics and frogs MAC. So what is their future home going to look like?
 
Nooby question.



Can FBTs climb glass? Nooby mistake for not cover 10g tank they were in and now one is missing. Either it climbed out or my super super naughty little in-laws 1-5 yrs old (they're still with us for a few months) took it out and did who knows what to it.


This is not first time they had did something to my animals. First week they moved in they killed off my all goldfishes in a 30g. Pretty much everyday I find something inside one of my tanks.
 
they can kinda climb up the corners, they cant "scale" the glass. even tho they're not the best at climbing glass they still can escape an uncovered tank
 
...my firebelly toad died and I dont even know why...it became kind of blind too. I took care of it though...
 
I have always wanted FBT's. Can these be fed a staple diet of mealworms?

Fire-bellied toads have a voracious appetite. Live crickets should make up the majority of their diet, with other food items such as wax worms, earth worms, black worms, and small silkworms being substituted for crickets every few feedings. Few toads recognize non-living food, so all food items must be alive when offered. A feeding schedule of two to six food items per toad every two to three days usually works well. Juvenile animals should be fed daily in small quantities. It’s important that any uneaten food or dead feeders are removed from the cage as soon as they are noticed. Adult fire-bellied toads should have their food coated with high quality reptile vitamin and mineral supplements once every two to four feedings. Juveniles should have their food supplemented as often as every feeding.
