Hi there,

I'm new to this forum. Have had red eyed tree frogs for over 2 years (using paper towel as substrate). I just got some young milk frogs recently and am using paper towels as substrate at the moment as well. But later when they get older, I plan to use some more aesthetically pleasing substrate like frog soil.

My question is, do I have to use hydro balls or something underneath the soil? I won't be putting in real plants. Or is it fine that I just use soil and change it once per month?

Also, my frogs seem really scared in the big (30 gallon tank - exo terra PT2607) I just moved them in. I had been housing them in a small plastic box for a month before transferring them into it. Was it too soon for me to transfer them in the big tank? They are about 3.5-4cm already.

Thanks.
