Creating an inviting display for Bumblebee Walking Toads

[Sarosaurus]

Hey guys and gals!

I am in some dire need of some help. We brought in some Bumblebee Toads at the pet store that I work at, but the set-up we currently have does not do them justice! I would love to be able to set something up where they can be seen better and so that they can find a home. We have two of them that are eating well (they love their flightless fruit flies), but once feeding time is over, they go right back to hiding out.

What would be the ideal set-up to make sure that these beauties get noticed? Are they always prone to hiding out? Is there a way to give them hiding spaces where they can still be seen without having to look too hard for them? I want to set them up in a kit, so whoever wants to buy them can just purchase the whole thing and go home with it already set up.

Any suggestions?

I have 5 of these little guys/girls on display at my museum and i have noticed most people are not willing to look hard enough to see them. You gotta imagine there point of view...they are very small and are subject to predation from a lot of things in the wild so they naturally like to hide. This is a pic of my viv but at any given time you can only see 2-3 good luck

Hi Sarah and IrishRonin - my reply more directed to IrishRonin.

You may have noted my starter queries in the intro [ worth reading replies? ] and this forum. As a total beginner with just 3 BBWT 1m/1f/1? I've queries about 'cleaning' vivarium. You have what appears to be a permanent setup - also my intention - so how and how often do you 'clean' your setup.

I'm reassured to read that your BBWT are shy - mine also head to the back of the viv. as soon as I approach them. I'm a little concerned about 1f - she was very active on arrival and with her companion 1m promptly started climbing up the silk/artificial 'ficus' and would spend hours 'embraced' high up. 1? came a week earlier and never climbed preferring the shady back areas. They all appear to clear up all crickets given and 1m/1? look bigger but 1f seems thinner than on arrival. She is also now much more lethagic and now all 3 spend a lot of inactive time piled-up together in the shady corner.

Any advice on cleaning, care and feeding would be much appreciated.
