Volcanic stone will be too harsh on the frog's skin. If you cannot find cocofiber, try potting soil. Make sure it is organic and fertilizer and chemical free.

Yes! I can find Cocofiber! But it is used as Substrate and not as drainage, isnt it?
Referring back to post #2 that Terry sent to you:
HOW TO MAKE ABG
<The ABG mix is-------- 2 parts tree fern fiber, 1 part peat moss, 2 parts cocofiber, 1 part charcoal, and 2 parts orchid bark>
The ABG I purchase has some dried sphagnum moss in the mix as well.

As mentioned - be sure all parts are organic and chemical free .........no fertilizer or pesticides.

volcanic stone I assume you would be using in place of LECA as your drainage layer. In that case it would never contact your frogs skin. It's pretty close to a product known as growstones, which is what i use as my drainage layer
