Terra/Vivarium Background materials questionsZoo Med Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate
I have been able to find very little information about this here or on other sites, perhaps no one has tried it before or maybe Im just not looking hard enough.
In any case I have been trying to get a background set up for my frogs( fire bellies) for quite sometime. I have tried the kitty litter clay background with no success of getting the litter to moisten up into clay form. Ive been looking into just buying the clay from Laguna or some other clay dstributor, but I have just come across Zoo Med Excavator Clay Burrowing Substrate. Has anyone used that before to make a background with it? I would be mixing it with Sphagnum, peat and some cocofiber for texture and hopefully get some plants and mosses to grow in it in turn.
If it would work for the fire bellies, Id like to try my luck with using it for some future Whites I have in mind on getting. I have many sizes of tanks, from a 5 gallon, a couple of 20's, 4 40 gal and a 72-75 bow front. I would to get the bowfront up and running, but little tests first to be sure it work out well, rather than wasting a boatload of money on a failure.
Anyway, thoughts?
I dont want to harm my lovelies with an ill chosen idea before asking those more knowledgeable than I.
PS this was the idea I was trying to follow
