    Default Shellac on log hut?

    Ok, Big Bertha, my female African Bullfrog, loves to hide in her hut, but it's way too small for her (she squeezes in anyway though). But whenever I get her log huts they rot because of the moisture, and I don't want her sleeping with any kind of nasty fungus.

    So I bought the biggest hide hut I could and used a product called shellac on it. It's a wood finish/sealer, and it says it dries completely non-toxic. I figured sealing it would prevent moisture from causing it to rot. Do you think this will be safe for her? Anyone have experience with this product?

    Hi Bruce,
    I do not know anything about bull frogs.
    However, I would not use this shellac.
    I believe it could leach into B Bertha's water?
    I also starts to breakdown after a while when exposed to the "elements". ie constant water/dampness
    It may say it is waterproof, but not permanently.

    Check it out: This can be cleaned on a regular basis! This company has terrific products! I use their planter.
