I have one of these. She is a female and her name is Blaze. I hope to get an other one too! You should get one of these little critters. They are easy to care for, good for beginers, and full of life. They have an incredible life span! 10-30 years!

These little guys are so cool to watch. They are vocal when put in groups of 2+. When not stressed they are a wonderful green color and have bright red stomachs. These two are little pigs. My female (left) is a lot less active than my male (right). Its wonderful to hear these guys "barking" at night. Absolutely love these animals. :)

My three year old son has been asking for a frog. So we went down to our local Petsmart, and got him 2 Fire Belly Toads. They are so interesting and fun to watch. The whole family loves them. Very easy to care for. I would recommend them to anyone. Great beginner pet.

INTENSE!!

fromHalifax, ns
these little guys do allot more then what you would think. There easy to take care of and very fun to watch and even to listen to. They eat crickets in pretty much 2 bites. But 1 problem that i have is that the crickets seem to jump in the water allot and die so it makes it hard to keep up on the frogs food requirements.

A very decent semi-aquatic animal! They can be fed a diet of up to two small earthworms every feeding per toad every three days! Red wigglers are a nutritious meal if you want to feed them besides crickets. They are also diurnal, look colorful, and are very easy to look after once you know what you are doing to care for them!

Fire-Bellied Toads are a lot of work because they have to be fed a lot and have to be fed live crickets. I do not recommend these frogs if you are scared of crickets like me. They make cute noises and can be very loud. I have 16 adult ones and 5 baby ones that just left the tadpole stage and lost their tails.

These are awesome pets. I was in the pet store looking at aqauriums to house a Devil Lionfish, and saw these. I got everything for it that day, Went home, set up the tank, and about a week later I went to buy another so Artemis (My first Fire Belly's name) could have a friend, plus the tank looked SO empty with just her in it. So I got another one (Named Belial). Mine really don't like land, they prefer to be in water, pretty much 24/7, They have a perch that's like a beach, it's in water but they're not completely submerged while sitting on there, then they have another rock tilting on that (Where they eat their crickets) and they sleep under the rock, in the water, They also LOVE to lay on the live plant in there, but still they're laying in the water on the plant. So I have their habitat set-up with mostly water, live plants, plastic plants, perches, rocks, and filters. They love to be misted too! They were my first frogs, Toads, sorry. And I now have a ton of different species of frogs, I plan on buying two more Fire Bellies. BE CAREFUL though, the guy at the petstore said they couldn't get out with just the cover on, he said I wouldn't need clamps, but Artemis made her way out, and I now have a clamp at each end of the cover.

I absolutely love them. i have 10 at home and currently buying more. They are very easy. thir croaks are relaxing and its fun to see them eat. if you play with them alot, they will soon learn to take food from your hands. i love them. easy and affordable. they need attension though. like anything. trust me if you are looking for an easy affordable pet firebellys are the one for you. and you can even put them with fire belly newts. it says not to handle them but i do and i havent had one ever die. ive even had tadpoles afew times. my oldest is about 2 yrs and i just bought more. have fun.... :)
ps their names. speckles, swift, topaz, dotz, hopper, skipper, bandit, barley, jumper, tokoa. and my newts names are sammy and morco....

The Fire Belly Toads are wonderful pets. They can be held, but prefer not to. They are amazingly beautiful and fun to watch. Great for kids ten and up or adults. They need big enough cages with COVERED lid. Amazing pets overall, and I would totally recommend them.

We recently purchased a female toad to go with the male toad. One night, the female mysteriously vanished, we have yet to find her and she is presumed dead. What makes it stranger is that our tank was covered properly. While she was around she was a bit noisy, but that was my fault for keeping the tank in room. I would recommend a filtered vivarium or terrarium for these guys, 15 gallons+.
Pros: cute, friendly, social toward their own kind
Cons: climbers, nocturnal, noisy, will escape without a cover

We have 4 of these little guys(no girls in the bunch) The barking sometimes drives me nuts but I do love to hear them. Mine really love the water so give them enough water to swim around in. A lot of sites will say enough water to soak. But all the ones I have had love the water. We feed ours crickets, earthworms, wax worms, maggots and houseflies.
Our tank has real plants and plenty of logs for hiding. You will need a good lid as they will climb the glass or plants.
Pros: easy to feed, easy tank set up, afordable
Cons: none

These guys are a great addition to any terrarium. You don't have to be as worried about them escaping as you do with tree frogs. They are really pretty to look at. They don't get large so you can keep several of them together. They eat crickets so it can get expensive to feed them. They make a funny noise (can't exactly describe it) but they do this during the daytime.
Pros: cute, small, don't leap out
Cons: expensive to feed
