I have had my toad for a few months.
He vanished one day and we assume he buried himself in the dirt. These type of toads hibernate in nature from late Sept-May. Is this what he is doing or should we be concerned?

In regards to Cindy’s comment…I also have a 3 yr. old and after holding the firebelly we ALWAYS wash our hands thoroughly following up with sanitizer. When we first got Speckles I let my 3 yr. old hold him for no longer than 5 minutes and a little later it looked like he was starting to get pink eye. It lasted for a day and didn’t turn in to anything but i’m certain he got something from the firebelly.

I was wondering if anyone has ever gotton sick from firebelly frogs. My 3 year old was holding our 3 frogs for about an hour while I was cleaning the tank. About 12hours later she became sick. Like a stomach flu almost. This has lasted for about 3 days. Any one know?

I have not read whether the two subspecies will mate and produce offspring. My first reaction would be “why not?” I would try it since there is nothing to lose and all you gain is another cute fire-bellied toad. Of course, you need to know the sex of the toad you are buying and that is nearly impossible without having access to it for a while and observing. If someone at PetsMart tries to say they can sex their fire-bellied toads that is probably not true. If they say they know the sex because they have observed them and how they interract then they may very well do know the sex. Good luck and let us know what happens if you do get another toad and they mate.

We have a Fire Bellied Toad that is almost 9 years old. We would like to find a mate. He sounds like your Greenie. We don’t know which sub-species he is. Does it matter if the Fire Bellied Toads at PetsMart are a different sub-species? Can toads from Asia breed and coexist with toads from Europe?
Thanks,
Francia
