Fire-Bellied Toads, Am I doing it right?

That is a great setup, the smell was horrendous when taking out the rotting coco fiber, but here is what I have them in until the end of the week(Or until the stuff I order comes in), I will post updates daily.




As for the Greenhouse frog I salvaged an old cricket keeper we had sitting around, used sphagnum moss as substrate, wetted it down a bit, added a stick I whittled, a bark piece that I didn't use for the other setup and added a few plants we found him around, he seems more active and happier about his new house.

Looks good for now. If you are going to put driftwood in, use Mopani. it holds up well over time and is smooth. For rocks, nice flat pieces work well for stacking. Throw some java Moss in for them and they will love it.

I'm unable to currently get anything until the end of the week or tommorow, But I intend on having a sloped setup, my question is, what are all of those little white balls at the bottom of some setups? Again, this is temporary for the FBTs.

Those are called hydro balls. Clay pellets that are used for a drainage layer. I put about 6 inches of those, held in place by a turtle bridge placed on its side, which allows water to flow through but not frogs. Then I put a mesh layer on top of the balls, then coco fiber. Before that I installed a black PVC tube with holes drilled in the bottom few inches, down through the balls and that is my water intake to my cannister filter. The water comes back in on the other side onto a corner unit I bought at petsmart for a waterfall. They love to sit on it and let water run over them.

Here is what that looks like...
