Default anyone keep fire bellys?

hi just wondering who keeps fire bellys, my partner brought home 6 of them 2 males rest girls, ive put them in a 2ft tank 5cm water and land.
im more concernd on there feeding, i was told just crickets but when i put them in they jumped in water a drowned, so the frogs wasnt interested as they didnt move. i found some waxworms last night and tryed them they love them, is there any other food ects i can give them?

hi my kids have firebellied toads, they eat mealworms and wax worms,crickets.little hoppers and earth worms you can dig these up your self or if busy like me lol buy them from livefoodsuk
As for the suicide crickets i found that by arranging pieces of slate to make like steps in the water pot/bowl/pond the crickets could drink without drowning, also try pieces of carrot 2 inch thin sleces so the crickets can eat it and survive longer it also helps cause while they are eating the carrot they can be ambushed by the firebellies lol.
hope that helps.

You could put in some floating plants so the crix can 'walk on water' so to say.
