    I also use cocofiber and I have no complaints with it.
    My frog ingests it from time to time and it passes problem free.

    Thanks guys. Maybe I will give that a try. Would a mix of soil and cocofiber be better, I wonder??

    I would say so. especially if you ever want live plants.
    Also the beneficial bacteria found in soil can help break down the frogs waste.
    Your frogs may also get some nutrients from the soil (minerals/trace elements and etc.). I want to do a 50/50 combo of cocofiber/topsoil for chubbz.

    That is an excellent suggestion Kevin. Thank you. I will work on that this next week. The Bullfrogs need a change anyway-does the body good (especially in this case!!).

    I like to throw a handful of play sand into the mix also, helps to keep it from "chunking' up over time.
    Watching FrogTV because it is better when someone else has to maintain the enclosure!

    Play sand? Okay, I'll do that as well. Never hurts to try it. And I promise to post lots of pics!
