Default to glaze or not

Hello everyone,
I'm making toad houses and I was wondering whether or not to glaze the
whole thing or just the inside or just the outside. Toads like a
moist environment so if I don't glaze they will get that but to make
it easier to keep clean maybe I should glaze. I' firing to cone 6 so
it should be hard enough so not to absorb too much moisture. Any
ideas on what I should do?
Thank you all so much for your help'

Sandi,
I glaze the outside of my toad abodes and leave the inside unglazed. (leave
it for the new tenants to decorate LOL) Don't know if this is 'right' or
not, but the outside stays nicer than if just raw. no mold or
discolorations. check he http://tonyolsen.com/up/hand/4toadhsgl.jpg
