Green or White's Treefrog / Litoria caerulea caresheet

[roxypepperch]

I have 2 white's tree frogs that I have had for a couple of weeks. They are in a 20gal high tank with mesh lid. Behavior and health wise they seem to be doing well but I have gotten a lot of conflicting info on substrate. I read the care sheet on here. I really don't want to use paper towels because humidity becomes an issue and I don't know about frogs but I've had problems with reptiles sticking to the towels. I currently have eco-earth which was what I was recommended. It just concerns me because they get dirty in it and then sometimes can't hold onto the sides of the tank normally. So I ended up adding some spangum moss over the eco-earth and that helped. However, now I am hearing that sphangum moss causes impactions so I'm not sure what the best thing to do would be. I would like to do the drainage layer and all of that but I can't really afford to do all of that right now. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

If you feed by putting crickets in the tank frogs can accidentally ingest sphagnum along with the cricket. It's more of a problem if it's in strings so maybe run it through a grinder or food processor? But then it would stick to the frogs, so maybe just don't let crickets run loose in the cage and feed with tweezers.
