I ordered my fantasy frog from reptilecity.com, and after they gave me multiple shipping dates, they finally shipped it last night. Then today, it was supposed to arrive at 12 noon, but didnt end up getting here till 3:20 pm, so this has been a order from hell to say the least. But he is here now and is warming up from the journey.
Sphagnum moss!!! aaahhhh! Moss can cause impaction. It safer to use eco earth or other coconut fiber.
Nice frog though. Fantasies are evil looking.
Congrats on receiving your frog alive and well! Yes, if you feed it in there and frogs ingests the moss substrate it could be bad for it. Ground coconut fiber like Plantation Soil, Eco Earth, etc. is a much better substrate since frog can pass it through digestive tract without problems.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
Yea, i know the moss is bad, but i had a brick so i used it first, im going to get coconut fiber substrate after christmas. for now im going to feed him in a seperate container with moist paper towels.
Just adorable.
Congratulations !
He/She looks so little on the moss.

Great looking frog Heather, how old is he? Fantastic markings on him
Cover 3 sides of the tank and get him off that moss ASAP. Switch the substrate to eco earth about an inch deep.
what do you mean cover three sides, and im not feeding him in the tank, when christmas rolls around im going to pick up some coconut fiber bedding.
Your frog is adorable!! I want to pinch his cheeks!!
lol, he is warming up to his new home great...
i have the back of the tank painted black and his tank is in a closet that i use to keep all my aquarium supplies. I will probable paint the other 2 sides when I clean the tank next.
no, the UTH is under the tank on one side. so i will just paint both... its alright, i have plenty of spray paint
You need to remove the UTH from the bottom of the tank very carefully and replace it on the side of the tank opposite the water dish. These are burrowing frogs. Your frog may burrow over the UTH and become burned by the glass. Plus they burrow to cool off. Your frog won't understand why it can't cool off when it burrows in that area and it will become overheated and possibly die.
