My humidity I'd high

Is this moss ok it cost me lots

[tinkgirl77]

That looks like sphagnum moss. I would remove all the moss. There is just such a big risk of the frog eating it.

What could I do with the moss then it cost me £7.99

I'm so sorry kieron,I made the same mistake . I still have a huge bag of it. Ive used some of it mixed in my plants or on top of the soil in some of my plants to help keep them moist. I even used it to make a moss terrarium in a jar for some live moss I've collected!

Hi Kieron, nice to meet you.

You have been given excellent advice by your comembers here. Loose moss can and will cause problems. Many of our members have learned the hard way and have ended up with their frogs at the vet, or worse. The cost of the moss won't compare to the cost of a sick frog, or the stress of a sick frog for you. The moss will also increase the humidity in the tank, which you need to decrease. Unfortunately, the pet stores often misguide us. Trust me on that one...I had to buy a larger tank and set it up properly for a local store here to avoid them from killing more frogs. That's a long story for a different day.

I would recommend using the paper towels as substrate for the first few weeks to see how they do. Change them daily. After they are acclimated and eating and pooping well, show good energy, and no signs of sickness, then you could change to coconut fiber (not husk). Leaf litter is nice to keep the coco fiber from sticking to their feet.

Another nice tip for monitoring how they eat is to feed from a clear glass bowl. They will learn to eat from the bowl and you'll know how many they've eaten.

To help decrease their stress, cover the back and 2 sides of the tank with some type of background. It helps them to feel more secure. A medium or light green color works well, and since they tend to camouflage themselves to their environment, this is a good color.

I would advise getting your temps and humidity to the proper levels before getting your frog(s). This will help you to avoid stress and illness in the frog.

Hope this helps!

Again, welcome

Do you have a recent photo of your set-up?

[kieron]

Yes I do

Do you have your hygrometer at the level of his/her branches and plants? If its too low that may be why. Careful not to feed over loose moss, they can accidentally ingest it when eating their crickets. If you tong feed this is not as much of a worry. If you let him hunt the crickets on his tank ground, I'd remove the moss and use coconut fiber (not husk) substrate. Removing the moss will also help lower the humidity.

He's a cutie .
