I currently use coco fiber for my abf's.. I seen some organic sphagnum peat moss in a HUGE bag at lowes the other day for 10 bucks and wondered if I was able to use this for them instead? Thought id ask before buying, didnt wanna chance anything

substrate** cant fix it now lol

Stick to coco. It's safe if your frog happens to swallow it. Moss on the other hand can cause impaction wich can be fatal.

At my local plant nursery they have blocks/mini bales of cocofiber for $13.00 it expands to 2.5 cu feet. Lasts me 4 months or so depending on how often I change the cages. Its much cheaper than buying single bricks of cocofiber.

Nice! I have no idea if we have a plant nursery around here. lol.. Guess thats something ill be looking at . I just got 3 bricks of coco fiber for about 7 bucks. Sounds like your may be a better deal? haha.

It might save you a couple dollars, but you get a lot better deal than me on single bricks. 1 brick will cost me $5.00 at the petstore. Hydroponic shops would also have it too. The bale of cocofiber is about 8 bricks so you would be getting two bricks for free.

I picked up those $2 bags of all natural top-soil at walmart in the gardening section, but my frog started acting different when I had that as his substrate. Just a little heads up if you get the urge to buy some of it because it's cheap. There might be a few other brands that are considered more safe for your frog, but it's worth it to just stick to coconut fiber even though it's a little more expensive. So I switched back to coconut fiber and it's all good again.

I use coco fiber for my dwarf and he loves it!

[pansie]

i agree with sticking to coco fiber... i feel better with the stuff that is meant for animals, because i'd fear the stuff intended for gardens might have some kind of chemical in it

so if our frog eats a bit of coco fiber, no problems? pixie can digest coco fiber?

[coastal20]

Yes frogs can pass the coco fiber just fine. They sometimes have a problem if they eat one of the long fibers though. I usually sift all my cocofiber through a screen to get most of the bigger fibers out.
