    Well, in Shorte's defense, I've heard from several sources that top soil is actually better then eco earth because it has enzymes that help break down the waist of tree frogs. And I think if the kind you have dosn't have fertilizer in it then it should be safe straight out. However if its fertilized (like merical grow or something) then its not safe for them because of the Styrofoam and fertilizer pellets.

    Thanks InfinitysDaughter, its just straight top soil with nothing but dirt.

    I've also had problems when I got forest dirt from pet stores that I noticed there was these really tiny bugs in it. I'm not sure what.kind.of.bugs they were but I didn't have a good experience with eco dirt from pet stores so I wanted to try a different route.

    Again thanks for the information everyone!
