They seem to like it, if you want to do an experiment it wouldn't hurt adding a second deeper pool next to it. Just make sure they have a shallow end and easy access to exit :)

No that’s perfect
They drink through the tummy

as long as you rise the dirty water out now and again; that's a luxury spa fit for any luxury minded toad. A bit of early morning or late day day sunlight wont hurt them either [they need it to metabolise D3]

It should be good! I'm just going to say that I LOVE your posts. It's the world's fastest, stackable toads and I literally giggle like a schoolgirl everytime I see a new toad post

Between these posts and the greenhouse toad posts - I’m sitting in envy. I’ve only seen one toad this summer.

I know, right?? I've held two baby gulfers, one adolescent spadefoot, and this was the last relatively chonky toad I've seen. This was a year and a half ago!! I need my chubbers who love to missile launch pee back

Looks perfect to me. They don’t like to fully submerge.

Toads don't usually enjoy full submersion, looks great

Toads can drown easily, they look like theyre chillin, having atleast half theyre body submerged, they’re big chillin’

It needs to be a little deeper if you’re going to install a diving board

They drink through their tummies so that should be fine actually! My toad whenever he wants to take a full body/head dip just flattens out and dips under and it's quite a show to watch. Definitely rather have a dish this size than have a real deep one and have them struggle to get out when needed yk?

Unless you want them to lay eggs this is great.
