I Made a Toad’s Paradise Bio-active Terrarium

[@Practically_Nature]

I've made something very special for people who like toads. A 👕 with a 🐸🥪 on it! Not just a 🐸but a 🐸🥪. 1e9ad4.myshopify.com/

[@arsonsnail]

how big is the tank featured in this video? gallons-wise, preferably!!

[@MrHillbilly]

😂😂 “ I’ve come along way sense my toad stomping days” I’m very surprised you don’t have more views on this.

[@Practically_Nature]

Hehe I’m glad you enjoyed it. Maybe someday I’ll get more views. For now I’m trying to make better and better videos

Thanks man!

[@redthecrusader007]

When I was like 3, I put a toad in a toy firetruck, and he had a heart attack and died and from then on I felt extremely horrible, and I always vowed to keep my frogs in the best conditions possible

[@Practically_Nature]

Aw those lessons can be hard to learn

[@Phoenix_terrariums]

I love your more natural approach to your builds I am in the process of building a 40 gallon paludarium for some toads and your videos give me inspiration for building it. 😄😄😄

That’s awesome!

This is such a cool terrarium! I love the use of local materials and a more natural substrate, opposed to something like coco fiber or an abg mix.

[@Practically_Nature]

Glad you like it! I prefer using national stuff because I think it looks better and it’s free

[@jurassic_hobbyonmyaltaccou3878]

Omg yay I forgot you were working on this

[@Practically_Nature]

Yeah it been awhile

[@touchwood108]

Brilliant video and very informative. I need a bit of advice, just a question though, would you need a light and what about the top to stop him escaping?

[@Practically_Nature]

Light is necessary for plant growth. Toads don’t generally jump as much or as high as frogs so as long as there is nothing for the toad to climb on to get 6 inches below the rim, you should be okay without a lid. I did actually have Meatball escape this setup once because he climbed the driftwood and hopped out. I simply but it board across the tank in the back just over the driftwood and never had the problem again.

[@darkdeifan]

Argentina name drop! enjoy the first world sister 🫡

What type of death feigning beetles are those because I have some but the have to live in a desert environment and humidity like that would kill them. Good video none the less

[@Practically_Nature]

These are some I found in my yard (in Argentina) I’m not sure exactly what kind they are but they do fine in there. They aren’t as blue as others.

What is the maintenance/cleaning like for this habitat? My son is 4 and I want to help him enjoy his nature boy ways. But for now, that means it’s gotta be me taking the lead on learning about upkeep. I also keep trying to get him to name his toad Frogo Baggins, and he just looks at me like I have two heads. We’ll get there one day…

[@Practically_Nature]

Hehe Frogo Baggins is a good one! It doesn’t require too much. The main thing is just making sure the toad has access to clean water all the time. If you’re able to keep lights and water the terrarium regularly, you’ll be able to keep the plants alive. Then it’s just the matter of looking out for mold and removing the poo if it’s not dealt with by insects.

[@mandawelsh185]

What kind of cleanup crew would you recommend for an American toadlet? We are just getting started and I’m doing research!

[@Practically_Nature]

Springtails and Isodpods are excellent. Of course the toad will eat some of the isopods but that’s all well and good.

[@Emg2463]

Happy to support a brother in the Lord ! Love your vids ! 😉👍

How did you edit in those exlamation point animations like at 3:51 ? I'm just being curious.

[@Practically_Nature]

I use some assets from Motion Array

[@zaAaAah1]

im not sure but i dont think thats enough water for him

[@Practically_Nature]

It’s enough for his current size. As he gets bigger though, I I’ll need to provide him with a larger soaking area.

[@sydlynnxx]

I have about 50 tadpoles right now just starting to get their back legs! I’ve raised tadpoles to toads every year from the time I was little but I’ve never kept one and I want too this year. 😁This home you made for Meatball looks so amazing!! What kind of plants do you have in there?

[@Practically_Nature]

That sounds like a fun childhood! I put a couple different kinds of plants in there. I think there was some tiger grass and then some I found outside.

[@allhailme8457]

What kind of toad is Meatball?

[@Practically_Nature]

I’m not 100% sure, but I think he might be a Cain toad

[@JenMorris-c1b]

I'm from the blue ridge mountains .... waaaaay different from Arkansas Questions? What are some easy plants I can use? We just acquired two American dwarf frogs named brownie and cookie.... they're super tiny.... I have them in a ten gallon for now but would love to add some plants and get a bigger aquarium

[@Practically_Nature]

Well, if you’d like some plants that have roots in the water and leaves above the water, I would recommend some Hastas. They are very robust and do great with their roots submerged. They can get fairly big though. As for fully submerged plants, I would recommend Hornwort or Alternanthera Reineckii to start.

[@carsoncrews]

Tbh i think every kid probably did something not veru himane to an animal as a young child out of curiosity

[@Practically_Nature]

True

[@bengaltiger1667]

What species is meatball?

[@Practically_Nature]

Something from Argentina. Possibly a Cain toad

[@bengaltiger1667]

@@Practically_Nature Don't think he's a cane toad, too dark colored, and they're not native to Argentina. I did a little digging. He might be an Argentine toad (Rhinella arenarum), but that's a tentative guess. It'll probably become more apparent once he grows larger.

Hey man, I just have to say that I think it's awesome that you were bold enough to talk about your faith on KZbin. It's something I've always thought about with and wondered how to implement it into a channel. I'm also a Christian and, ironically, from an area near the blue ridge mountains too! (Lynchburg, Virginia to be precise.) What brought you to Argentina? (if you don't mind my asking - it's totally ok if you do mind). Thanks again for sharing!

[@Practically_Nature]

That’s awesome! I’m from Nelson Country! I’m in Argentina because that’s where my wife is from. We met on OM’s Logos Hope (you can look it up) We got married here since she needs to get a visa before we can live in the US. I think Christians need to be more bold about sharing our faith no matter what we’re doing. I just happen to be doing KZbin, so that’s where I share.

[@shandenasiacooper5601]

As a Christian is the best three words I can hear from a KZbinr❤✝️

[@Practically_Nature]

I try to be open about my faith partly because I love finding out when a KZbinr I watch is Christian too!
