Sand vs. Gravel vs. something else (river rocks, etc)

Thanks guys--I'll look into it. I did think ahead on the fact that going right into brand new water could be bad for them, so we spent a lot of time slowly putting some of their old water into the new tank before moving them over to get it mixed with the new. They are sill doing great and love thier big tank.

Update on the sand: Still easier to clean thean the pebbles, but we have to keep at it daily. Little tiny bits of poo and decayed food get spread out easily, and it's a bit hard to pick all that up without taking any of the sand out. The sand was such a pain to clean that I don't want to end up "cleaning" to much of it out and having to refill. Hah! The frogs just seem happier with the "solid" floor over the pebbles. They can skuttle along easier, dig their feet in if they want, and they can find their food MUCH easier (without dropping it to gt lost bettwen pebbles forever). I have a little dish set into the sand where I (try) to put their food into every day (bloodworms at night and pellets in the morning), and they know now to head to that corner of the tank at meal times. If any food floats out of the bowl, it's super easy to put back in or for them to find on their own.

I use sand and a few large rocks for decoration and hiding places.
