First frog tank ever. Probably need help

You don't need to attach it to the egg crate. Cut it so it is roughly 1 inch to 2 inches long on all side and lay it on top of the egg crate your substrate will hold it in place.

Hello and welcome to FF and your first build! Kind of got late here; but got a couple tips for you. If the kit you bought was for a terrarium (i.e. a Tetra kit with screen top) those can be filled with water to around 1/4 to 1/3 of it's depth only. Bill gave you good info and his build threads are very informative. Besides glue, can use zip ties to hold pieces of plastic egg crate together.

Following article has great information on FBTs: Frog Forum - Fire-Bellied Toad Care and Breeding - Bombina orientalis and relatives. If you have not bought filter yet; can use a small air pump with sponge filter or one of the smaller Supreme Ovation internal filters made by Danner. Your T8 bulb should max out near 6,500K if plants are planned.

Do not use the Fluker's Orange cubes; they are not good. Feed insects (sized same as distance between frog's eyes): veggies (carrots and lettuce) and cereals (oats and cherios) for 24-48 hours before use. Also, you can use supplements according to this info: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html. Hope this helps a bit and good luck !
