    Use a bin - cane toads can be shy and appreciate the opeque sides. Get a few cane toads btw, they're found in groups in the wild. Drill plenty of holes or cut a bit of the top install screen/mesh, ventilation is important. Coco fiber shouldn't cause impaction if frogs are healthy and kept at the right temperatures, but it's better to feed off tongs anyway where possible so the frogs get the insects before they burrow or groom the supplements off.

    I really like the foam and was going to get some myself for my frogs, however I could only get upholstery foam and this came with fire-retardants, I'd imagine the Joshs frogs one shouldn't. Your toads won't be able to burrow, but if you add a hut hide and some fake plants I'm sure it will be fine. Many breeders maintain frogs on foam as it's easy to clean and allows for good monitoring.
