pipa pipa care ?'s

[MB]

ok i have some care questions about pipa pipa or the surinam toad.

• does it need gravel
• does it need an air pump
• does it need a tank cover

 

[Jennewt]

Gravel seems like a bad idea, as it can be ingested.

Needing an air pump depends on how the tank is set up. Does it have any kind of filter? How large/tall is it?

Cover - probably depends on how FULL the tank will be. Also whether or not you have a cat

ok it will be about 24" wide/17" tall/12" front to back+ it will have a power filter? + we have 3 cats

I found this care sheet online

http://www.pollywog.co.uk/pipapipacaresheet.html

it seems to answer most of your questions...

I'll agree with Jennewt on no gravel. Try river rocks instead, the toad won't be able to ingest them, and you can arrange them to make some nice hides.

Good luck, and post some pictures of your toad!
