New viv please check
Hello, i have two new fbt's. Here is my viv as their home. On top you can see part of a tree floating. Along with some moss. Below i have plants, a cave, pebbles and some hideouts. Is this Ok? What needs to be changed? I also have a light and a water filter. Any help would be fantastic as i am a beginner.

I do not know enough about firebellies to make much of an assessment on your viv. I do know that pebbles are a no no though. Anything that can fit in their mouth should be out of there. They can eat them and become impacted. Here is a care sheet that you should look overFrog Forum - Fire-Bellied Toad Care and Breeding - Bombina orientalis and relatives

The pebbles, as stated by Amy, are an impaction risk, but so is the moss. Recommend that you remove that. I don't know for sure but i think that you would be better off lowering the water level as well. Also, caves and places to hide are good, but you have to be sure that they will not get stuck in there and drown. You should have a place to hide above the water as well. How big is the tank?

Actually, the pebbles pose no impaction risk under the water. They don't feed in there, so no risk. The moss however, is not aquatic and is going to pollute the water. If you want moss in the water, go with an aquatic version, such as java moss.
I would also give them a sense of privacy and comfort by wrapping three sides of the tank with something dark. Construction paper, shelf paper, ect. It's not necessary, but they would appreciate it.
Some hiding spots out of the water would also be good so they can have a bit of extra privacy.

It is 32litres
Re: New viv please check
Also what is the view of plastic plants such as vines to create a hideout above the water. Is that a good idea? Or is there a 'better' view of making a hideout. Thanks
Re: New viv please check
terrapins would be ideal residents in there, not fire bellies. too aquatic but many do keep them this way
where did you get the inspiration for the build, or was it whimsical?
