I posted this also in the terrarium area but so far no feedback so I figure if I post it here too I might get quicker and more opinions.

Ok so I have been having issues with subtrate everywhere since the beginning, getting on my frogs, the walls, the plants, even in the water dish.... I get that this is part of what subtrate does lol. So I have researched sheet moss and searched garden stores for it... No luck... then recently leaf litter... No Luck... So not paying the mass shipping from the states.

This morning I called Reptile Wrangler (wear I get my crickets). They are able to get me SPRINGTAILS and SHEET MOSS to help...

I feed my frogs by tongs so I'm thinking this will be a good safe and cleaner option.... Opinions?

Terrarium set up is for 3 Eastern Grey Tree Frogs (Hyla versicolor).

I use Exo Terra, Plantation Soil, Tropical Terrarium Substrate atm.

All fake plants atm.

Also hoping the green moss might make my greys feel like showing more green again

Using Live plants might do wonders for you.
They bind substrate by their roots and give a more natural look as well.
When you are going for springtails, its also great for them, they tend to go in between plant roots a lot as well, makes them breed better for some reason.
Also, in time the substrate will get more compact, causing it to stay more in its place.
However, you'll never be able to stop you're frogs getting it on their feet and transporting it to the water or glass, its probably a bit less tho.

That's why this post was inquiring about about covering substrate with sheet moss as well as getting springtails..?
