I have three firebellied toads, and today I discovered that one toad has one eye that looks strange. It's sort of cloudy. What is wrong, and is there anything I can do? Thanks.

there are a few things that could cause cloudy eye. damage, improper diet , stress, not using the proper water(make sure you are using water that has sat in an open container for at least 24 hours or bottled water). most all these but damage are reversable with proper care. here is a good caresheet page for FBTs

OK, thank you for the advice. 
I cleaned their tank really well today, so maybe this will help.

my first thought is... is he going to shed? yes, fire bellies shed. they will get a cloudy apparence then in a few days shed. just a thought. it's very weird how they shed. they will get hunched backed and look like they are trying to heave to get the old skin off.

Yeah, I've seen both my firebellies and my treefrogs shed. It's extremely weird!!
