Fire-Bellied Toads, Am I doing it right?

[ericbrookey]

That is definitely not the right setup for them, IMO. They need way more water and should not be housed with other species. The smell is indeed rotting soil from being over misted. Without a drainage layer it is just going to get worse and will breed bacteria unless you replace the substrate regularly.

FBT will spend 80% of their time soaking in water. It's how they regulate their body temperature, exercise and hide from predators. Giving them a dirted cage with a small bowl of water is not the same.

Yes, the calling us normal. You have at least one male.

Feed them every couple of days. Their bellies should not be sunken in on the sides but be a little plump. I feed crickets 2 times a week and a few meal worms, dubai roaches or wax worms as treats. They can go a week without eating and still be ok, not haopy, but will survive. Every 2-3 days is recommended.

Hope that helps.
