I became aware of the stones after reading a few threads here the xray was pretty cool, unfortunately I had already set up this terrarium a while ago. I generally feed them on a rolled bamboo mat, So I'll pretend things are fine as far as the pebbles up until this point. I have a question for you in response. My first source suggested not to use sand, because the small material in sand will grind away at their eyes if they use them to push down food. your material looks really gritty, have you ever approached this question before?

Here's my setup. Please offer suggestions. You can't see it but under that bamboo roll is a cavern. they used it for the first weeks and then played in the moss. Is there anything else we could recommend to replace the moss? Eventually I'd like to use real plants, but it's a lot to figure out all at once. I might not be ready for that for a couple of months. for now I just want to see if anyone had some advice before the next cleaning, because you can tell things are getting pretty trampled and unkempt have to make this next one last for a while.

I feel sand if fine to use as a substrate, IF the amphibians come form a sandy enviroment, as mine do. Creatures adapt to their enviroments.

Coco-fibre would be a good replacment of the moss, but if you take them out and feed them on a feeding mat as I do, I wold not worry about it, it's if they are fed in the tank that it becomes worrysome.

And, to be perfectly honest, live plants arn't that nig of a deal! I'll post some photos of my toads planted vivarium tommorow! (or you can see them yourself by following the link in my signnature).

I'm off to bed now, it's 12:31am where I live!
