Hello, Firebellied toads are great!!!
Caging
Can hold 1-2 fbt’s in a 10gallon tank. Best to have I believe no substrate but, to just have unchlorinated water, and a bunch of t slate rocks, piled up on each other. (Make it in the corner of the tank, and build it out) (Make sure there's no way to have them fall)(Fbt’s like hiding)
I have my toads in about four inches of water.
Feeding
I feed my guys a good diet of gut-loaded crickets, occasional nice waxworm, and in the summer...earthworms, hairless caterpillars, and other soft bodied critters (Make sure no pesticides in the area)
Lighting/Temperature
Room temps good, no lighting required, though your fbts may benefit from florescent light.
Accessories
Live plants make attractive additions to your fbt's thank, I personally like cabomba (Or something like that (maybe someone can correct me))
Ya, so there you have some basics,
If you ' like more detail just keep on asking in the forums...
Or you can email me at Crazcanuk25@hotmail.com for better detail, or different questions. Loading up on info's always the best way to go!!!!
