Pacman update with PICS

[BG]

get rid of that and get eco earth with some topsoil and some playsnd it works nice for the pacman frogs

[Bruce]

Ive never heard of playsand, but if you do topsoil be sure that it is 100% fertilizer/chemical free, or it could severely harm your frog

eco earth is made from coconut fiber.

eco earth is made from coconut fiber.

It's not a pelleted barky type coconut fiber like you have pictured though. It's more soft-soil like. That way they cant eat "chunks" of it by accident and get it stuck in their bellies!

I don't have a pacman, but don't they like to burrow? That chunky stuff doesn't look comfy for burrowing in...correct me if I'm wrong though, I haven't personally done research on pacmans

Yea they do burrow. All he does is stay burrowed lol. I'm a little frustrated because I was advised by several people to buy the coco-husk substrate. It comes in a condensed brick like eco-earth and I followed all the directions expecting all the chunks to break up like the directions say but they didn't. I thought it was going to be more fibrous.

You need to change to eco earth I think my first ever. Pac died .because yo frog could died of impaction I like to use spangum moss on the side of the waterdish

[Baelari]

Sphagnum moss can impact them as well.

That's how mine came too but it is very soft and soil like. I'm sorry the substrate is giving you such a headache!
