    Default New tank setup!

    It's not really a new "setup" but a "rearranging".

    Here is the way I had the tank before: Name:  003.jpg

    I added another 4 inches of soil, 5 new plants, a hollow mound, more moss, and some moss covered sticks and a log. I think this will be better for the toad as it has more hiding places, and more burrowing areas.

    I think it's a definite improvement. You'll probably see the toad more too - more hiding places and substrate will make it feel more secure and less likely to hide.

    Yes, I notice that! I figured I'd see it less, but it seems to be much more active now.

    Just watch it without a lid. My toads happily climb plants to the top of the tank. It's very nice looking though!!

    Thankyou Amy!

    I don't think I will have any problems with my toad climbing out though, it's too fat for that... hahaha! Seriously on that point, it seems very clumsy and akward!?

    Moss looks nice, but it's a major impaction risk if you feed them in the tank. Toads are rather clumsy things, and they often miss with their tongues and can easily ingest substrate by accident. Sometimes mine miss the same fruit fly 2 or 3 times in a row and I just crack up. So cute. They can leap pretty high, so I echo Amy's sentiment about a lid.
