    If they are on the background I would think it would be ok since he wont be able to trample them. Not sure what kinds to use though...

    Sorry Bill, I forgot you had listed some. Is there a type of grass-like plant he could put in there? I think that would look cool...

    eleocharis parvula (dwarf hairgrass) will grow well as a marginal in a high humidity environment. mondo grass (sorry, don't know the latin name) will grow kind of like a reed in a maginal area in a lower humidity environment

    As you probably know; male African Bullfrog will grow big and strong and are aggressive eaters. So if you plant in the bottom... the plants will probably get trampled. Now I think that if enclosure was big enough you could get away with some hardy grasses in pots on a protected area. Plants in pots on background would prevent trampling; but I would be careful that plants are totally out of his jumping range, specially if toxic.

    Reason I state that is because my African Bullfrog would get all excited at feeding time and once jumped up 6 in. in air and grabbed a weighted fake silk plant and took it down while staring at me. I held the plant in my hand and threw in a worm so he released the plant and went for worm. That was the last decor I placed in his habitat other than his cave and dish. Also, when smaller, I did notice once a little silk fern was missing the tip of a leave. My guess is he lounged at a cricket on the leaf and took part of it too. Lucky for us he passed it and did not get impacted. Good luck and post pics once you got your plant decor done !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
