i just changed my fire bellied toads tank around and made it mostly aquatic with 1/3 land and places in the water for him to sit on. but now he wont get out of the water. he does'nt even sit on his rocks, he just swims all day. is that normal?

hehehehe. I have the same 'problem'. when i got my first pair, and gave them a bunch of water, they did that. I think they're happy. i dumped crickets on the land part for them, and they would wait for the stupid things to jump in the water before they would go get them. (which washed the calcium off) I dont think theres anything wrong with them. mine had a little waterfall (from the filter) and some little floating islands and they hardly ever used them. i did put some of those little plastic plants around. they came up to just below the water surface, mine could 'rest' on those without getting out of the water, if youre worried aobut them drowning or somehting. (i had one do that, he jumped into the water, went to the bottom and then floated back to the top and went belly up, it was very sad) but if yours havent had a problem yet, i doubt they will. (mine drown when i first put him in the cage, which is when i put more plants in). hope that makes you feel better,
Beth
