Hello,

I have gray tree frogs, not white, sorry for butting in on your thread

But i am in the process of setting up a living vivarium as well and have similar questions. I am using an egg crate false bottom with hydroballs under that. Set up a small waterpump to circulate water up to the substrate layer and flow through a pvc tube (little river effect). Im going to top the dirt layer with sphagnum moss and leaf litter.

Trying to make it self sustaining as possible. Do springtails/isopods have a tendency to leave the viv.? Im using an exo terra 12x12x18 and theres plenty of tiny opening, with it being in my room id rather not have loose bugs running around

What does up keep intail? Assuming the dirt layer will be good for a long time so just clean out the leaf litter, moss, and water every few weeks/months depending how much of a mess the frogs make?

Thanks,
Andrew
