Thanks Matt-AJJ
The enclosure contains 4 toads, and is the enclosure I built originally for marbled newts.
As regulars to this forum Im sure that you will know about the problems I encountered with that enclosure?
Before re-using, EVERYTHING was removed from the enclosure, right down to, then even below the subsoil, and all the walls scrubbed with a mild bleach solution.
The whole thing was then rinsed down thoroughly and left for the rain to wash away any residues for a good few months.
The base of the enclosure has a layer of pebbles before the 5ft of sand bought in direct from the quarry to be sure nothing was added.
Although it is hard to tell from the photo, the middle of the enclosure is a mound of sand, into which a few short pieces of plastic tubing have been pushed to give the toads a head start in any burrows they wish to dig.
Dimensions of the inside of the enclosure are length 6ft, width 4ft
