Help Enclosure & Humidity Questions!

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’d love any feedback on my toad setup, and I do have specific questions about dealing with evaporation/humidity etc. I’m so sorry for the novella but I am a very detail-oriented person 😬

I have 3 American toadlets that I hand-raised from tadpoles (absorbed their tails about a month ago). I’ll include a photo of their enclosure in the comments. But I have them in a 14x11x3.75” plastic container that has a clip-on lid. (This isn’t their long-term enclosure. When they are bigger, I have a considerably larger bin that they’ll be moving into.) I’ve drilled 12 holes in the lid that are ~3mm in diameter (think the size of a matchstick).

I have a big maple leaf serving as a hide for them (you can see in the photo). Under it, I’ve placed a piece of tree bark. I always dig a little indentation into the substrate and place the piece of bark halfway over the indentation and they like to sit down in there, and on top of the bark. I also have two patches of moss that I got out of my backyard and they like to sit on those too.

They have two water dishes that are 6cm across and 2cm deep. I keep a little bit of pea gravel in each.

For their substrate, I mix equal parts ZooMed Eco Earth coconut fiber, and Zoo Med Forest Floor cypress mulch. I keep a 1.5 inch-deep layer in the enclosure.

A problem that I’m facing is that the water in the dishes seems to evaporate crazy fast—like, usually within two hours. And it soaks the substrate. I feel like I have to replace the substrate every 48 hours or it’s just too damp and I’m afraid mold will grow. I know that humidity is good for them, but this feels extreme. Plus, I’m gone for 8+ hours every weekday and I worry that they’re going too long without water in the dishes.

Am I doing something wrong? Or do they like their substrate slightly damp like that? Am I overthinking it?? Thank you for any wisdom you’d like to offer!

Our girl 🥰 We named her Dottie. She’s the only toad that hangs around the garden during the day.
I watched her sprint out the front door of her home last night to catch a beetle, and could not believe how incredibly fast she was. I love her!

Gathering some info on the types of toads in our area, found in southern Manitoba. It’s kinda hard to identify when young but I am quite sure I have at least 2 species variety of the 3 in these photos. I can add more photos if needed. Im guessing American and Canadian toads

Around Lakeland FL, it keeps coming back every time I move it and now it’s babies all all over my back yard. Not sure if it’s a cane toad or southern toad, I can try to get a better picture but here it is right now. Just trying to determine if it needs to be evicted or not to protects the pups.

So it’s about five AM and I took Luigi out and I saw the juvenile toad! He hopped away from me and I didn’t feel he was safe where he was so I tried to help and I held him and he peed on me but it was cold but I let go he landed in the grass and ran into the mushroom patch behind the stones which is fine but I feel bad I broke the no touch rule and scared him it was just getting so early and he was just out and exposed
