Q: How long to quarantine?
Posted By:

erikapi

I have three fire belly toads that are doing really well for me and I am considering adopting two more toads. I know it is a good idea to quarantine the new ones, but how long should I keep them seperate?

Thanks.

amphibians are difficult, they wont show signs they're sick until they are dead most of the time. your best bet is to quarentie for 60-90 days
