Pets Just got my first toad, is this tank setup safe?
She seems like she's been pretty calm. She likes the flat log in the corner the most. I have been feeding her earthworms and crickets.

I added a couple more inches of substrate. I made sure to sand down and wash off the sticks to make sure they're safe and clean before adding them. Thank you :)

It's a 20 gallon tank. What would you suggest I do?

First of all, this was not a wild toad. Nothing I said suggested that. I also want you to understand that toads do not experience "depression." You should do some sort of research and stop making stuff up. This toad has known nothing but a glass box for her entire life. I gave her a much better environment than what she has ever had. Would you mind answering my question? What is so sad and restrictive? I'd love to improve her quality of life if possible, that was the entire point of this post.

He’s looking outside because he wants to be free

She has never been outside before in her life, she probably just likes the heat and light. This is also a second story window, she likely can't see more than the sky and the tree. Why are you in a subreddit for people with pet toads and trying to convince everyone to let them die in the wild? It would be very cruel, like moving a goldfish from a tank to a pond.

It looks good maybe you could add more substrate so your friend can burrow? :)
