Best substrate?

[Jace]

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!!).

Your very welcome.
Please post plenty of pics when it gets finished.

I like to throw a handful of play sand into the mix also, helps to keep it from "chunking' up over time.

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

Bark is a very bad choice...good to hear you're removing it.

I like about 2/3 cocofiber and 1/3 organic topsoil. The soil helps to hold onto some of the moisture better then just just cocofiber. As as kevin alluded to, a mix provides more stability for live plants to become rooted.
