Hi everyone,

I have 4 Pacific Chorus Frog babies (few weeks old). When they first morphed I put them in a tank with aquarium gravel as the substrate. They didn't seem to mind this, but many of the teeny crickets I have been feeding them squeeze under the gravel and die there before the frogs can eat them. So today I changed out the tank and put in coconut fiber (reccommended by the lady at the pet store). It works great to keep the crickets from hiding, but the frogs seem to hate it! It gets stuck all over their skin and they just sit there, wiping it off. Also, it gets stuck on their toes and they have a harder time climbing on the glass (they just kept sliding down). I feel bad, but what else can I switch to? At the pet store I saw this stuff that is basically a piece of felt that can be cut to the size of the tank, and is washable. But the lady there told me that it is supposed to be for "desert" type creatures, and that it would not be a good choice for the frogs since it won't hold in moisture. If it could work, though, it would seem to be the perfect solution to both my problems. Any suggestions?
