These rather unusual and beautiful frogs require only a large terrarium. A 22 gallon tank would be adequate for 2-4 adults. They require a semi aquatic set-up with a deep substrate of loose sandy soil. Furnishings such as driftwood, cork bark, and sturdy leafed plants can be arranged to provide a number of hiding places. A large water area must be provided with clean de-chlorinated or spring water at a depth of 8cm. The water will need to be changed partially daily to avoid the build up of ammonia and bacteria in the water whilst changing the water it is a good idea to visually inspect the tank and remove, clean and replace any soiled items. If kept in a warm household the tank will not require additional heating. A light source may be provided by the means of a fluorescent UVB tube although this is not strictly necessary. Once every two-three weeks the tank and its contents should be completely cleaned and sterilised using an amphibian / reptile friendly disinfectant. As for the feeding: For adults a mixture of suitably sized insects including crickets, caterpillars, slugs, wax worm and earthworm should be fed every two-three days. A calcium and vitamin supplement should be used once a week. Young toads will take hatchling crickets, aphids, & fruitflies. These should be fed every day and a calcium and vitamin supplement used two-three times a week. They can grow up to about 16 cm.I hope this is sastifying. Snakecrazy. |
