Frog Bedding & Substrate

Frog Bedding and Substrate

If your pets are aquarium-bound, then you know the importance of ensuring their habitat is comfortable and as close to nature as possible. Providing the proper substrate can go a long way toward making your pets feel more at home.

At Petco, we have a variety of solutions when it comes to the floor of your aquarium, including the following.

• Terrarium liners
• Moss mats
• Plantation soil
• Substrate made from a variety of barks and coconut husks
• Bioactive substrate
• Volcanic and black stone substrate

Are you wondering about the best substrate for frogs? That depends on what type of species you’re parenting. Let’s go over the importance of substrate and what it can add to your frog’s habitat.

Frog substrate lines the floor of your pet’s enclosure, so it’s something they will be in contact with all day long. It has a variety of uses, including the following.

• Acts as an absorbent for your pet’s waste
• Can help control humidity levels in your frog’s habitat
• Gives them a soft floor where they can walk, hop and crawl

Since amphibians need more moisture than some other reptiles, it’s important to use a substrate that can help provide the proper humidity levels. Look for those that are specified and labeled for amphibians or frogs for optimal results.

Because of that moisture, changing your reptile and amphibian substrate is essential frequently to avoid mold or other bacteria from forming. A clean habitat can improve your pet’s happiness and help prevent unpleasant odors.

We have informative articles like Tree Frog Care: Lifespan, Size and Habitat to help you learn more about your tree frog companion and their needs. You can also use our Red-Eyed Tree Frog Care Sheet and our Toad Care Sheet if you’re a pet parent of those species.
