    Default Weird bedding

    Seen this at my local pet store and have never seen it anywhere else wondering if anyone uses/used this product. I wouldn't use it I'm just curious.

    My uneducated guess, looks very similar to a plant we have in ponds over here in the UK, my newts lay there eggs in it and also it helps with getting oxygen into the water. I'll try and find it., on phone atm

    Thought it was this http://www.agric.wa.gov.au/objtwr/im...nts/elodea.gif but looking closer to your image, is it some kind of gel?

    Same here! When you search Pac-Man Keeper nothing turns out and when you search Exotic Nutrition you find a company that handles furry animals like Sugar Sliders, Chinchillas, etc.: Sugar glider food, Sugar glider cage and Hedgehog food. They are about and hour drive from my location; will call them tomorrow AM and try to find out more about that product.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    judging by the fact that they don't have it on their website, and the apparent age of the pricing sticker. i would guess it was a failed attempt on the company's to diversify away from their norm. maybe post this in the pacman subforum. someone like mike or grif may have seen it before.
    i am thinking though, at that price, it may make a cool zombie brain decoration for halloween.....lol

    OK, just talked to Exotic Nutrition on phone. They still make this product; but it's not in their webpage . Rep described it as 1/4 in. jelly cubes (99% water) medium. From description and pics, almost looks like a green version of Flucker's Kricket Quencher:

    Also, he stated medium will dry; but can re-hidrate with spraying. Still sounds kind of strange to me and wonder how Pacman frog would interact and deal with it. I'm not experimenting with Fresita on this medium, so did not order any ($6 for 2 lbs.). If other members have experience with it please do share. Thank you !

    I forgot I posted this lol. It has been in my local pet shop for around 4 or 5 years now I believe. Never wanted to test it with my Pacmans though It is definitely some type of jelly substance.
    I will post in the pacman section see if anyone else has seen or used it.
