    get rid of moss asap unless you want to risk impaction, it might look better to you, but for a frog health eco earth is better.

    as for sex- definitely too early to tel, but I'd say possible male based on head/body ratio, but that might change with age.
    I read that coconut fiber, moss, and sand were all fairly safe for most frogs (sand of course is not very good for a african bull frog though). I will switch back to the coconut fiber though since y'all know best. I doubt he has eaten very much moss though since I feed him in his bowl normally,and I allways use forceps to begin with. Better safe than sorry though.

    Coconut Fiber doesn't mold like the moss does and is less of an impaction risk. Sand is a no go for frogs. It can damage their eyes and get between the corners of their jaws and cause a grinding affect that can and will cause an infection. Use the 15 minute rule mentioned above and use a multivitamin like Herotivite once a week.

    I started out with moss to, liked it better but changed over to coco fibre after reading around on this site. The first day I put him into coco he jumped into his water dish and started eating the floating pieces :0 kinda wonder if he was doing that with the moss. Anyways he is fine and grew out of that habit thankfully
