    It sounds great! Did you find the firebelly toad care instructions in the care article area? It is a great guide.

    You'll need some amphibian/reptile calcium with vitaminD3 powder and some reptile multivitamin powder. Use a baggy and sprinkle a pinch of calcium on your crickets every other day and the mvi one day a week, not on the same day as the calcium. Put the pinch in the baggy and give it a gentle shake to lightly coat the bugs.

    Isn't that the truth, lol! Setting up can be pricey. It sounds like you've got the set-up down. I find that people who have owned fish are a step ahead.

    I'm sure you have dechlorinator, as you have fish .

    It's good to have a nice plant or rock in the water area for taking a rest when they swim.

    First of all, great suggestions, Heather.

    But many people have suggested to never dust Vitamin & Calcium powder at the same time, yet I can't seem to find any research or article on this. Don't take it personally and by no means I'm questioning you because likely you got the info somewhere else, but I do question the validity of that statement. Is it scientifically proven? Because I don't see why an animal can't process both nutrients efficiently at the same time.
