Routine maintenance for the terrariums include removal of defecation, water changing, mist spraying, and feeding. The best foods are live, molluscs and insects. However, newts, salamanders, and caecilians, and aquatic frogs can smell and can “catch” lifeless food such as fish and meat. Of all the species in the order Anura, Bufo marinus is known to withstand canned cat food or dog food after captivation for a period of time. Many amphibians can be lured into feeding by swinging dead prey on the end of tweezers or long feeding tube. Based on the species and body size, collembolan, flies, worms, moths, cockroaches, snails, crickets, water fleas, the larvae of insects, small frogs, and mouse pups, can be used as prey for feeding. Breeding these animals for food is not required since they can be purchased easily. Food should be sprinkled with mineral or vitamin powder to prevent malnutrition before being placed into the terrarium. The best feeding time is half an hour after the active period of every species has started. Nocturnal frogs require a small amount of light to position and to capture prey.
