Dumpy tree frog substrate help.

[TwiAly]

I am having a LOT of trouble with the substrate in my dumpy tree froms habitat. I am using moss and have tried about every kind of moss under the sun. The issue I'm having is that its either too dry, or too moist and molds. What am I doing wrong? I mist him daily and all that. Should I use something else instead of moss? How often should I be changing the moss out? Should I maybe be putting another kind of substrate under the moss?

Thanks

A popular choice is coco fiber substrate, the ones bought in blocks which you hydrate with water. It retains plenty of moisture which keeps humidity levels high, and doesn't dry out like moss. You can then put moss on top of your coco fiber substrate, to minimise coco fiber substrate being rubbed everywhere up your tank walls by your frogs! It also adds more variety to your tank. Just my personal thought.
hope all goes well

I wouldn't use moss at all. White's love their food and anything that makes it into their mouth when jumping for food could get swallowed. I use eco-earth and really like it and have had no problems.

I use those same coconut fiber blocks that the above mentioned. I USED to use small bark chips that they sold at petsmart in a bag but one of my frogs ate a piece of bark and died due to not being able to digest and pass the bark.
Ever since then (gosh 9 years ago) I have been using those blocks and have not had ONE problem!
