Frog Toad Pet
Caring for a Pet Toad (or frog)?
So this morning at my grandmothers house in New Hampshire, I discovered an...animal outside in the moss, there were many actually I found three, and i decided to show one to my grandmother she claimed it was a toad and I think I'll just call it that. It's a baby, that much I know. So i placed it in a coffee cup (cleaned out of course) with some moist dirt, moss and a few small rocks, I brought him home and he now resides outside my house. I plan to go and but a terrarium for him tomorrow (apparently my old one was thrown out long ago) and all the other fixings needed to care for this animal but firstly I need to know, what is it! Its solid brown, no distinct spots, just slight changes in color and its smooth and bump-less. so is it a toad or a frog, and what do i need to care for each? any info would be greatly appreciated.
How about you just put it back where you found it instead of making it a prisoner for your own pleasure. Unless you have the perfect diet and environment for it, it will DIE! Out side has the perfect environment and all the food it needs. Think of poor froggy/toad? and not yourself.
It's family is probably worried sick about it. Croak croak

Frogs & Toads : Types of Pet Tree Frogs
Breeding Your Fire-belllied Toads
So you want to breed your Fire-Bellied Toads? Breeding these fun critters is very rewarding but can be very difficult and time consuming. The following information will teach you what you need to know before you attempt to breed them.
But first, I'd like you to ask yourself why you are choosing to breed them, if you are wanting to, that is. Keep in mind that these toads are very common and you can buy them in almost every pet store. If you just want the experience of breeding them and don't expect to gain much money from this (if you choose to sell them), then go for it!
Fire-Bellied toads, just like most frogs, only breed at certain times of the year so what you will need to do is "trick" your toads into thinking the season sare changing. This is so much easier when they are out in the wild but in a tank where everything pretty much stays constant, it will take a little effort on your part to pull it off. Your tank seasons will go as follows: artificial winter-->artificial spring. They need to go through a type of hibernation (winter) and then after the season changes to spring, that is their key to breed.
First make sure your toads are nice and plump. Your toads wil lose some weight while going through an artificial winter and if you put skinny toads through this process, they could die.
Creating an artificial winter is probably the most difficult part of getting them to breed. The temperature in the tank needs to be in the low 60s (remember to not let temperatures drop in the 50s!). If you live in a cold area, try relocating your tank into the garage or put it on the floor.
Some resources have told me that they drop the water in their tank as well to about 1 inch. Others have said that they completely remove all the water.
Notes: Having other species of animals inside your tank could mess up the process. During this time, your toads won't eat as much and become inactive.
After about 8-9 weeks, raise the water level and the temperatures back to normal. In a couple days, they should start to become more active and eat more. Feed them a lot more than normal at this time and add more minerals and vitamins to their diet.
The males should, at this time, begin to call and they will go through their mating process which is called amplexus. The male will grab the female around the waist. This could last hours.
Make sure you have live aquatic plants in your tank as a place where the female can lay her eggs. The female can lay anywhere from 50-300 eggs.
After the eggs are laid, you need to separate the adults from them as they can eat or disrupt them. You can either 1) Move the eggs to a simple habitat set up but this way can result in the loss of some of the eggs or 2) After you bring the toad tank back to normal temperatures, quickly move them to a simple tank that is set up for breeding and let them breed in their and then once they are finished laying their eggs, move them back to their normal tank.
The best temperature for your toad eggs and tadpoles is 76F. The eggs should hatch in about four days at this temperature. During the first few days after your tadpoles hatch (they will be brown in color) they will be motionless and feed off the rest of the egg yolk. Then they will soon be able to swim around. At this time you need to feed them a variety of food such as tropical flakes, freeze-dried fish food, leafy green veggies, chopped earthworms, and bloodworms. Remove and replace half of your tank water about 3 times a week. The tank needs to stay really clean. In about three weeks you will see your toads develop their hind limbs. In four to eight weeks the front limbs will become visible and will start to leave the water. This is the time where you need to make sure they have access in and out of the water. The little floating turtle docks you can find at the pet store work perfectly.
Don't be discouraged if you loose some toads at this time. It will most likely happen. The temperatures used for adult fire-bellied toads are fine for the toadlets. Keep the tank set up very simple. Make sure you have a lid!
The toadlets need to be fed twice a day: flightless fruit flies, pinhead crickets, bloodworms, hatchling worms. They are very tiny at this state and need to be fed very tiny insects.
When your FBToadlets get about the same size as your toads (could take anywhere from 8-14 months), you can put them in the tank with your adults.
Note: When they are young, your toads should be fed food that have similar pigments to their fire bellies. Bloodworms, which are red, are perfect for helping your toadlets develop bright bellies. If you do not, they might grow to have faded bellies.
