My gf said she read something online that states that using real plants in the vivarium is bad for the frogs because it causes a lot of bacteria to grow and makes the frogs sick.

Is this true? Did they take into consideration that maybe we are adding plants that are native to the frog's natural surroundings? I read online that using real plants was good because they recycle the frog waste and help create a mini ecosystem.

any ideas?



FYI I have 3 red eye tree frogs and 1 tiger leg in the vivarium.
