Why. Do you say eating coco fiber would kill him? From my understanding it doesn't harm them. Its the objects you find in the coco fiber that are dangerous. Like rocks/pieces of plastic tarp/easter grass/bread ties/chunks of bark/ live plant seedlings/large seeds/strips of rubber/and last but not least pieces of metal. The fiber itself sometimes causes mild constipation, but it depends on what you feed your frogs and how moist you keep the substrate. The real danger of the coco fiber comes from the actual fibers. You will sometimes find masses of thes all tangled in a. Ball. If your frog eats it, it does have the patential for impaction. All coco fiber should be searched through before use to make sure and debre.s and tangled fiber balls are removed. Grif passed one once and it had a lot of mucus around it due to her body trying to rid itself of the mass. She just took a couple days longer than usual to pass it. I've learned how to treat constipation for objects that are passable. Rock and other hazardous materials I don't even want to think about.
