    Default Substrate issues

    Hey guys I was just wandering, I got a new PAC man frog and I got issues with the substrate. It's quite hard to find Eco earth here in Indonesia, so is it okay if I use coconut FIBER instead?

    I am not a Pac man keeper so please feel free to disregard this once an experience keeper responds, but I don't see why Coco Fiber can't be used.

    Moved this thread to the proper area.

    Coconut fiber should be fine so long as there are no additives.

    Ecoearth is nothing more than a fancy trade name for coconut fiber. Same with plantation soil, and a few others. It's just a trade name, nothing more. They are all basically the same. Coconut fiber used for hygro plants will work as well.
