no, you can only use moss you find inside. LOL Actually, I collect my own moss that grows in nice thin sheets on rock and wood. Seems to do nicely in my vivs.

So where can i get moss besides petstores because i aked already and they said they didnt have n e. N e suggestions? And about the outside moss. Isnt there a way to clean the moss by killing pests inside but not killing the moss and harming the frogs? If so plz give advice plz.

i wouldn't worry about cleaning it off to much after all they're from the outside. i only have used moss found outside with no ill effects. just make sure there isn't like a white mold on the bottom of it, it spreads and kills the moss. So don't worry about cleaning it like crazy, any bugs that are in it i'm sure the frogs will eat.
