It's looking great! I really like all the wood in there and the orchids
especially how the roots are exposed).
Do your frogs use all the surface areas? Seems like they would from the image of those two perched on some wood

Do your frogs use all the surface areas?

Yeah, they really like all of the wood in the tank. It's setup so that they can get anywhere in the tank without touching the ground. After about the first month in there, they never go in the leaf litter anymore. I've seen them maybe 2 or 3 times on the ground since then. They definitely have their preferred sleeping and hunting spots, but I've seen them everywhere in the tank and they usually hop back and forth the whole length of the tank every morning. I would also add that they seem to prefer exposed wood over moss covered wood.

About a year in, there are now 3 frogs and 2 tadpoles in the tank.

Why have I heard in so many places that cedar mulch should NOT be used with any reptiles or amphibians for bedding?


Beautiful viv, you should check out my website!

I don't think I used cedar.

What other kinds of red mulch are there?

[markbudde]

It was some kind of wood which was dyed red. It didn't have the texture of cedar.
