Fire Bellied Toad Care?

-Can anybody tell me EVERYTHING you need for 2 or 3 Fire bellied toads and please don't copy paste a care sheet just list the things and please tell me if you want to breed them is it best to keep male and female, female female male, or male male female? Thanks in advance.I know you said don't copy and paste a care sheet, but the link I'm giving you is to a care sheet that I PERSONALLY wrote. It's on my blog:

SUMMARY:

You will need:

-at least a 10 gallon tank for three toads

-a tight-fitting screen lid

-a large water area in the tank with water that's 2 to 5 inches deep

-a land area with moss, reptile soil, or very large pebbles (that can't be swallowed)

-food (can be crickets, meal worms, wax worms, "red wrigglers," roaches, fruit flies, etc)

-calcium and vitamin supplements for nutrition



That's it! Firebellies are pretty simple to take care of. They don't need any special lighting (as long as they aren't in the dark), do perfectly at room temperature, etc.



BREEDING: You need to give them at least a six-week period of colder temperatures. They will not want to breed unless they think they've just survived winter. Make their environment colder (no colder than 45 degrees Fahrenheit) and feed them a little bit less based on their activity level. When the cold time is up, let it gradually get warmer and increase the availability of food.



GENDER: If you're keeping three firebellies (and especially if you plan on breeding them), then I think it'd be best to have one male and two females. It's not good to have males fighting one another. Also, you'll get more babies with two females. :)
