New White's tree froggie died. Help!!! Quarantine advice needed...

Got some excellent advice there to start you off, Scott

Via Mentat: If using live plants can use ABG type soil and lightly fertilize with aquarium plant fertilizers from Seachem.

Carlos, what exactly does "ABG" stand for? I've been wanting to find/make a good frog safe soil for the plants and for a burrowing dish. I picked up some Black Gold Organic Mix (all natural) but it turned out to have a lot of perlite/vermiculite in it, bleh. I need something for plants like Pothos, Dracaena and Diffenbachia and then something more sandy/cactus mix like for the Sansevierias. Also, what can be safely used for drainage for plants WITHIN the mix (I use hydroballs in the bottom of the pots) other than perlite and vermiculite, that won't harm frogs...?

ABG - ABG, Atlanta Botanical Gardens Mix | Reptile Substrate | Josh's Frogs

A great thread regarding substrate - http://www.frogforum.net/plants-plan...lk-dirt-y.html

If the OP is not planting though, only coco fiber is needed once the frogs are done with QT.

Great Info, Amy, thanks!
