Gorilla Fur (redwood mulch)

[TANK]

well i know for a fact play sand is safe since ive been using it in a mixture with cocofiber with my african bullfrogs and my toad
but i just wanted to know if it is toxic to my toad
im not too worried about impaction since i only tong feed

[Badger]

If you ONLY tong feed then either would be safe, I believe redwood is non toxic. and if you don't tong feed, playsand and mulch both are very dangerous.

Redwood is a conifer and most conifers are toxic to frogs. So unless someone more in the know than myself chimes in, I would avoid redwood.

[Badger]

I had no clue it was a conifer. Whoops. Yeah, avoid it.

[Kurt]

Never been to California, eh?

Haha, nope. Only here in new england sadly. I knew redwoods were the HUGE trees, but I thought they were hardwood.
