I got a new Whites TreeFrog on saturday. I am so Happy that i got him. He has such round cute eyes. But i got a question. Where can i get moss? The bed a beast that my GTFs and WTF live on is sticking to them. They dont like it so i was thinking about gettin moss. The local petstore didnt have n e. I have moss outside but am afraid that it has mites and other nasty critters. Can I still use it or should i buy from a store? And wat kind of stores do u get them from. Thx Again and plz reply.

I really wouldn't recommend the moss you buy from pet stores. I used it for about a month because I was stubborn and wanted it, even though everyone advised against it. I have 2 WTFs and whenever they went for a cricket, they'd also get a big mouthful o' moss and spend ten minutes pulling it out of their mouth, NOT GOOD! There's a huge risk of impaction if they swallow it. I remember some people posting about ground up moss, but that's all I can think of.
I also had my frogs on the shredded coconut bedding, but was dismayed to find them covered with bits of it all the time, so I switched to paper towels. I believe Cabo and Wabo are now happier as they are much more active on the ground than before, and of course I am happier too.
Just keep the safety of your critters in mind...
