Traditionally, the call of these amphibians is associated with mischief, death and sadness. The reason for this lies in the deep, far-reaching call of the fire-bellied toad (<em>Bombina bombina<\/em>), native to Central Europe, which sounds plaintive to human ears.

This is entirely in line with the CC philosophy: creating capacities for species conservation! For those who later want to keep highly endangered, difficult-to-care-for amphibian species for conservation breeding must first have learned how to handle these animals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;108411&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;133394&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;677921&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;178244&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;214051&#8243;]Mattis with offspring of the Oriental fire-bellied toad.

It is therefore conceivable that new, more dangerous variants of the fungi are being imported with the toads. Especially since, at least in one individual case, the salamander-eating fungus <em>Bsal<\/em> has also been detected on Asian toads. And why take this risk, when Oriental fire-bellied toads can be bred very well in our country? Also from the point of view of animal welfare it is better to offer lovingly bred offspring from terrariums than imports from the Far East, which have had a long journey and various intermediate caging periods. Especially since the population of toads is also decreasing in East Asia. Although less due to capture for the pet market than due to the usual endangering factors such as habitat destruction by draining wetlands and environmental pollution, it is nevertheless quite unnecessary to take additional animals that can easily be bred here as well. Homegrown organic fair trade toads, so to speak, instead of wild-caught and large-scale imports. Therefore, CC wants to meet the justified demand of the pet trade for these attractive animals through own offspring or at least help to reduce the number of animals that are being imported.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;121568&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_image=&#8221;133393&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;4&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;7&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;inverted-device-order&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;503556&#8243; mobile_height=&#8221;120px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_horizontal=&#8221;left&#8221; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;4&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;674740&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; heading_semantic=&#8221;h6&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h6&#8243; text_transform=&#8221;uppercase&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;203954&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]For breeders[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; sub_lead=&#8221;small&#8221; subheading=&#8221;The toads are maintained in medium sized paludariums or aquaterrariums with a terrestrial part provided by cork pieces or stone structures.
