    Smile Need tips on how to relocate FBTs outside.

    Hi I was just wondering if there are any experts who have housed FBTs outside to offer some ideas on how to make that happen.
    The weather is getting warmer and I was thinking of moving them (there's 6) outside to make some more space in my room. The main idea I had was to dig a hole and place a planter barrel in it with water to form the pond and give a few more inches for land space, then fence it up to protect them from any predators. I'm not looking to breed them. Just to house them for the time being. I think I might have 2 females, but they may not be fertile since I haven't seen tadpoles let alone eggs. So if my idea sounds good, what are some materials I can use to make it happen? Or if you have better ideas, feel free to jot them down. If this thread was posted a while ago, then you can provide a link instead of typing a lot. Sorry in advance if that is the case. Thank you for any replies (=

    Make sure you cover it with somthing, even if the toads Cannot climb your barrier, there are plenty of critters who would love a few free snacks...... if I were you, I would keep them in the same enclosure, and just move it outside.

    Assuming its a glass aquarium, that's a baaaaad idea unless you want cooked frogs...

    Hmm I've never had a problem with cooking them, but I keep my outdoor tanks in the shade with a screen cover

    If you want you could PM another member on our sister forum Caudata.org by the name of SDE (Seth) He's very knowledgeable and has housed some B.orientalis outdoors as well. You could ask him how to make an outdoor enclosure, I'm sure that he'll be of help
