Oriental Fire-Bellied Toad
Bright-bellied pond toad with a cheerful daytime chirp
Green above, fire-orange below: fire-bellied toads flash their bellies at “predators” and chirp like tiny dogs by day. Hardy groups in a half-water tank — just wash hands after contact, as skin secretions irritate eyes and mouths.

Curated starter supplies researched for this companion's specific anatomy and needs
Fire-bellied toads are semi-aquatic and require a gentle slope to climb out of the water; an integrated rock filter creates a clean land-to-water transition.
Toads are weak swimmers disturbed by heavy currents; a miniature low-flow pump gently circulates shallow water and creates inviting trickling moisture.
Toads hunt only moving live insects like small crickets; feeding crickets a high-calcium diet 24 hours prior transfers vital calcium directly into the toad.
