I'm afraid my newest toad may die.

every care sheet i have looked through always recommend coco husk. But that is care sheets for frogs and frogs are more sensitive than toads when it comes to there environment. I am a new toad owner and had a ruff start at first. I didnt loose any but getting them to eat was quite the task. They still wont eat with me in the room. but they like to defaecate in there warm water bowl and with out a doubt they are eating. They prefer roaches from what i can tell. I also read on a care sheet that they go ape **** over moths unfortunately it is the wrong time of year for me to catch those. So i cant say whether or not how yours will take to them. Just keep in mind most toads species are very resilient. And symptoms that would normally worry you with a frog would be a much lesser worry with most types of toads. With the honey advice i have never heard of that I would think that would pose a problem with clogged pores. But i wouldnt know you may want to get a second opinion before trying that.

Do not get Coconut Fiber confused with Coconut Husk. They are two different products. Cooconut Husk looks like wood chips and should be avoided. It is dangerous.

Coconut Fiber is ideal and should be used because it is easily passed if ingested. If you separate the land from the water feature it should reduce substrate from getting in the water. FBT spend most of their time in the water so they may not go on land so much that it builds up in the water clogging your filter.

I didnt know that. I thought they were the same. i just figured that the fiber was a finer cut. Do you know if the Husk is harmful to snakes? I use the husk for my snakes and fiber for my frogs because the chips are a pain in the *** to clean out of the water.

I would assume that the Husk chips would be harmful if the snake was to accidentally get a mouthful, but as long as the snake doesn't ingest much it probably will do no harm.

The Cocofiber and Husk are made from the same thing. They are products made from the outer husks of a coconut and yes one is basically just ground much finer than the other(Coconut Fiber/Eco Earth/Plantation Soil), but the husk does not pass easily because of the large chunks lodging themselves in the Digestive Tract causing a blockage(Impaction) which can be deadly. Even Coconut Fiber can cause an impaction if it is ingested in large amounts or if ingested dry. The reason it is so good to use for frogs is that the finer grind makes it more loose and passable. It will give and is partially digestable, the Husk form is not.

If you are really concerned then try using the reptile carpet. It is easy to clean and you wont have to worry about coco husk getting in or on them
