Wild Moss safe?

[Jace]

If I was, say, to go to a nursery to buy moss, what would be the best to get started with my frogs and toads? I come across Irish moss all the time, but I have, at best, a muddy green thumb....

Moss is very difficult to identify in the wild. I just know where the kinds I have had success with grow. With your muddy thumb lol, try some sphagnum moss from the pet store. It sometimes starts to grow but seems to last really well.

Okay....what about trying to grow grass (sans fertilizer mixed in)? I am trying for the most natural set up possible....and I have a great pair of scissors to help me "mow"...

You are funny Jo-Anna, I thought about doing the same thing lol. I was thinking a short variety that was hearty for most of the floor and a few places like in the back corners of a tall variety and then landscape around that.

Thank you! I just might have to give it a try then....I have a spare tank and having it empty is bugging me, so maybe I will experiment before I try and put anything into it. Yoki might have his own landscaped lawn yet!!

How is Yoki doing? Are you going to get another one?

[Jace]

Yoki is doing pretty good-I hope. He calls all the time, so I take that as a good sign. I have been to every single pet store trying to find another one, but no luck. They bring them in as just "tree frogs" so the one place I always buy from brought some in, but they turned out to be green tree frogs. I am rather desperate trying to find another one at this moment.
