Firebellied Toads

[LucyHurst]

I just rescued an Oriental Firebellied Toad (previous owners weren't looking after him properly, there were two but one died.. thats when I decided I needed to take this one. Actually.. there were three.. but one got trodden on a few months ago.).. and i'm wondering if I can keep other types of firebelly toad with him.. like the European Firebelly toad, or the Asian one (or is that the same as Oriental?). I know you cant keep different frogs and things with them because of the toxin. But is the toxin the same for all the Bombina family?

How important is company for him? Is it desperate that I go out and buy my little guy a buddy?

..here he is
