Default firebelly toad setup help

I have a 10 gallon tank for my 3 firebellies and I want to redo the setup. I want it to be as close to their natural habitat as possible, but I want it to be an eye catcher, also I dont know if this would be safe for them but I would like to create the setup with stuff that is in the creek behind my house (natural clay, rocks, ect.). So I have been doing research and still havn't found anything that I can use to help. So I can use all the ideas I can get for this project.

thanks camie8

Hi camie8,

Have a search on here for how to build native vivariums- these are often made with materials brought in form outside.

You'll have to be careful with these materials, especially with toads, I'd think (chytrid), but as long as everything's properly cleaned/sterilized you should be alright, and you'll've saved a buck on materials at the same time.
