My fire bellied toads

[peeka]

I'm a bit concerned, three of my five FBTs are extremely dark and very sluggish, not really eating and hiding all the time at the back. One of them was the most bold so far and now spends all its time under the cork bark.

The other two are very bright and green but still not especially lively.

It got much colder in the last couple of days after quite warm weather, could that be something to do with it?

How are they doing now? any updates?

They seem ok now, one is a bit more reserved than the others but they all seem to be eating and are quite lively too.

don't worry about them eating as long as there is food available. try feeding a little on alternate days. any chance of another update pic (nice set-up btw). agree with the background situation you had. TIP: put small strips of sellotape in top inside corners i.e. over sealant, to prevent crix from climbing out. light dust of calcium is needed approx 2/3 times a week. what lighting are you using and heater is not needed, these are also kept outside by keepers. good luck.

Here is a picture of one half. I also added an area with underwater viewing, they haven't used it yet.
EDIT: I heard a splash and they are in there now.



I put parcel tape along the top at the back of the vivarium as the crickets were escaping, it seems to have solved the problem.

I put a handfull of crickets in every other day and every other feeding is dusted with nutrobal supplement.

I have an exo terra dual canopy which has halogen spots but I only use those if I take pictures otherwise they have fluorescent strips (the rainforest repti glo) with 12 hours light/12 hours darkness. I have the canopy because I was going to have ornate wood turtles but felt it was too small for them.
