My first toad.

[Pinky]

Well I got him second hand, he's a year or so old and was given to me a few days ago.

Anyway he was being kept in a pretty terrible cage, pretty much just a tiny critter keeper, a fake plant, some gravel and a water bowl. So I took a spare 10 gallon and put a little more money into it then I wanted, and came out with this. The only real plant is a wad of java moss, it seemed like something he would like to sit on.



Is it a good habitat? I'm really new to this so I'm not sure, also will he need companions at some point?

what kind of toad do you have there?

[Bdimas]

Congrats on acquiring your toad! Not sure what kind of toad you have yet. Hopefully a fire belly.

[Pinky]

Well it would be kinda silly to post in the fire belly sub forum if I didn't have a fire belly >_>

But yeah, that's what he is.

[Bdimas]

Sorry. I just can't see it in the picture. Good luck!

Looks good, but is there a land area for feeding? Companions are appreciated but not necessary, but there's plenty of room for a friend in there =)

ya maybe get a turtle dock or add a land area def get him a partner its super funny watching them be social it lightens my day all the time =)

Ive just been feeding him on the java moss, the crickets don't stay there very long XD

But I can give him a larger land area, once I get it situated I'll post pics. He's doing very well and has stopped hiding btw, the java moss seems to be his favorite spot in the tank =3

Ok, I found some spare gravel and made him a ramp thing with that, he has no issues climbing the filter at all from what I've seen when he goes after crickets lol



Also yes I know he's too thin, I'm working on that.

[Pezoneden]

be sure he doesnt ingest some of those stones a few of um look a little too small. he soo cute looks like my boy but skinny pete status. He gets those same 2 green dots on his neck when he turns black =)

[MatthewM1]

Get that boy some wax worms and fatten him up =p

Another idea for a land area you can try is take a repti rock food or water dish and pack it full of eco earth, it will float and you can just drop the crickets on that. I can't imagine the weight of your fbt being able to flip it. And you can pull it out after he is done eating. Actually by doing it that way after a while he would realize that every time he sees that rock dinner is coming =)

I currently have a large size water dish packed with eco earth for my land area but my water is a bit more shallow and I have gravel pushed up around it to hold it in place.

Its very nice but looks like your water looks too deep. I keep mine at 3". Yep, just looked at pic again and I can tell you from my observation: the rocks you have at the bottom? If you lower your water level he can sit on those and also be wet, mine love it. And I have 4 frogs and all get along, they often are right next to each other. Do you have FB's? Even any toad would like company. I hope you get a few more then you can watch them all together! I'm looking into adding another critter to my tank but there are not many choices, wish there were.

[Hoppity100]

Forgot to mention, mine really like the land area and your tank needs less water, if you lower it so rocks are above surface enough he can sit on a rock and still have his feet in water, that's what mine do. Mine put front feet on a rock and back legs float in the water. They look like they are hugging the rock. The other day I found one of my hermits hugging a peach (he was going to eat it) but it was really cute.
