This is my new setup so far, I want to use ceder planks for the sides, covered with layers of plastic,

What type of plastic?

3.5 mil black plastic sheeting, made in USA of recycled plastic. It won't be touching them, but can the fumes be a problem? They won't be able to dig down to it as the only places they will be able to dig are separate containers filled with coconut soil.

so I'm guessing these will be joined with acrylic glue? I know that pine and cedar shavings are bad for animals (causes respiratory issues, etc) so I'm guessing it might hold true for frogs as well.

No joining, the cedar planks would go up, then the plastic would lay over it, covering everything in one huge sheet, then up and over and tacked to the other side, I was just worried about the fumes going up and over and in, I think maybe I'm stressing over nothing.

Cedar has a oil in it that gives off that pleasant aromatic smell, which is bad for animals. But if it's just for the bottom and it's sealed properly to prevent wood from leaching any tannins into the setup it might be fine. I guess research up on cedar and come to conclusion yourself.

GL with the project.

If these are hard plastic sheets you could potentially join them together at the edges like a tank with acylic glue.
