Compatible creatures for FBTs

[tgampper]

My Step Dad just got three fire belly toads. Their tank is looking a bit empty. I've heard that you shouldn't house anything else with them because of their toxicity, but I want to make sure. Are there any newts or frogs or toads that are compatible with them?

It's a good idea not to mix species. FBTs do secrete a toxin from their skin that maybe harmful to other animals. These frogs are very colorful when you first get them, but after a while they will become dull. To keep up the bright colors, you can gut load your crickets with carrots or paprika.

Thankyou very much. the tank is already planted and gorgeous. I'll let him know about the gut loading.
