Recently got some Fire Belly Toads

I just recently got two Fire Belly Toads that I am keeping now in a 10 gallon tank. I call them Frodo and Bilbo the Hoppits.I have them a cave that Frodo likes to hide in a lot, which Bilbo seems to enjoy hopping around and being in the water dish more. They both like to explore a lot though and look around at the plants. I have been feeding them waxworms and crickets so far, although it seems the worms are definitely the favorite lol.

Nice setup but I suggest making it more aquatic as fire belly toads love water

I decided to reorganize the tank and put in an extra large exo terra water dish to give them more swimming area since you said they'd like it better. This is how it looks now:

They like a bit deeper water.. when i had fbt's i had half land half water. I siliconed a plexiglass barrier about 4 inches high. One side had coco fiber with moss on tip on one side and water on the other with a filter

I'm pretty sure firebelly toads can be kept in a mostly terrestrial tank with just a water dish, so you're tank seems perfectly adequate. I know people do this often to prevent them from breeding.

They can be. Im just saying they are happier and much more active the way i suggested

Yeah that's definately true.
