    That's almost worse than stones/plastic/and sand. Fire Ants could seriously harm your frog. I would have called them about that as well. None of this makes me feel any better about Eco Earth now. I'm going to use up what I have and try plantation soil. I know of no other substrate to use at the moment. So ill have to look around.

    I buy the big loose bags of eco earth and iv found small rocks and like what seems to be small threads from a tarp or something..like u know when a tarp gets warn out and the ends start to just shred and fall to the ground..looks just like that. I pull it out when ever I find such stuff tho. Its a pain in the butt...

    Grif- Lately I've been having similar issues with zoo med eco earth as well. I've found rocks like you have, also entire plants that have been compressed into the bricks. Many many twigs and strings...the list goes on. Oh yeah and like you said my bricks lately aren't breaking up like they're supposed to. I let them soak for about an hour and come back and it has hardly absorbed any water, at which point I then break it up by hand and waste even more time. So frustrating so I bought a bag of it already broken up and loose and luckily I didn't find anything alarming in it.
