Getting my first FBTs

[Heatheranne]

It's looking good. I think I'd lower the water level to 2", or, even easier add another inch of rocks to the deep part. You may need a larger area to one side for feeding. Both crickets and dubias will drown. Yes, you can feed them small crickets and dubias. Your calcium and vitamin schedule is right on. Another thing you can do is to make a small floating platform so the crickets crawl up it if they fall in and the toads can still get them. You can remove it when not in use.

We loved our firebellies . Are you getting greens or browns?

Thank you all! I did lower the water level to about 2", a tiny bit over that. I plan to get 3 green fbts from a local pet shop (not a chain store but family owned and they treat their animals well). I will add some more land, maybe move the rocks around for a more half/half look than just the random placement. Do they need a burrowing substrate, like moss? I have some spare moss that I use for my leopard gecko's humid hides, just frog moss from the pet store not live, and I haven't used it yet so I could spread that over the rocks. I figure coco fibre would dirty the water a lot considering how it looks when you first put the brick into the water.

They don't really need to burrow. They'd more likely love a little cave to hide under or a plant with some over-hang. You'll find that they'll love being in the water. Sometimes they'll just sit in it, so a shallow area is nice. Moss can be used, but never feed on the moss because if they accidentally ingest it while eating they can get an intestinal impaction.

Ok thank you, I will do some rearranging then to set up more land for them
