1beataway's Megophrys problem

[1beataway]

The substrate is soil. It's sold like a brick at the pet store. I placed the moss I got from the seller on top, but I'm not sure what kind of moss it is. It's all grown together pretty well. And it's very pretty.

Its either, toss the substrate or live with the uninvited guests.

I don't mind living with them if they don't crawl into my bed and kill me.

That's just a good general rule though.

I think the suggestion to toss the substrate has less to do with what they could do to you (probably nothing, I'm sure) and more to do with what they can do to your frog. If the substrate's been corrupted by a colony of biting critters, get rid of it, clean out the tank, and start fresh. Otherwise, your frog(s) will keep being bitten.

That is a very good point. Honestly, I didn't even think of it that way. Me and my selfish ways. :P

I did a substrate change about a week ago, and am pretty sure I got out all the little bugs and cleaned the tank, so I'll probably keep an eye out, see if my frog is getting better, and then do another substrate change soonish to see how it looks.

They may, however, crawl into your ears and burrow into your while you are sleeping, thus causing incurable madness, brain cancer, or just a foul mood.

Oh no! It's already too late!
