I've going on a spring clean at the moment and planning a few enclosure re-vamps and upgrades for a few of my animals so thought I'd post here as I went along.
Tonight my two green toads had their tank cleaned out and some silk plants added to increase the cover. Although they are amphibians green toads actually hail from quite dry climates but it's important they have fresh clean water available at all times.
The larger the body of water the easier it is to keep it clean. They have a small filter designed for fish tanks in the water area, this ensures any ammonia resulting from pee or poo is broken down and does not linger in the water. Amphibians are very sensitive to pollution as they absorb so much through their skin. We made the water area by sealing a piece of glass into place using aquarium sealant. This is a 3' fish tank.
In the land area I use an organic peat free compost that the toads like to burrow in.
The lads

Jeemy wonders if he should go for a swim
and wonders some more
and quickly decided that no.... he did not want to go for a swim
