Substrates

[Kurt]

Tropical terrain is coconut shell. I have found mixing it with sphagnum cuts back on the amount of ground coconut shell that sticks to your frog. I also think mixing the two together make it less likely that your frog will swallow the sphagnum.

I have seen some of my amphibians eat sphagnum and they're ok. As long as its small amounts, they should be ok. I think that the threat of accidental ingestion of sphagnum is greatly exaggerated.

For terrestrials and semi-terrestrials like my B. orientalis, I use a mix of coir, soil, and moss as the substrate. I then cover this over with sheet moss. For my B. nebulifer I use a 70/30 mix of coir to soil with a handful of sand thrown.

What is coir?
