I had mine on moss, and he died randomly one day.
This could be the reason why, im not sure.

Well you for start . As to backbone, I think I've had enough running battles on here of which you are al too aware. If the cap fits wear it. Maybe a nice SS one.

Happy New Year to all, May 2009 be a good year.

if your worried about sphagnum moss impaction, but still want to use moss, get some living 'pillow' moss from dartfrog.co.uk - this is MUCH harder to bread up and eat and is still very pretty

Ive got mine on eco earth with a handful of moss in one corner to help with humidity, which I find works well. I wouldnt personally keep a frog on moss alone because I believe the risks are too great. I won't even feed mine if s/he is on the moss because of the risk

ok thanks for your help. but im still no sure, if there is a risk i wont do it but i just thourght it would be nicer for the frod as it is nice and damp and soft.

By the way does the size matter, does it affect babys more than adults? or vise verser? Its just the one im getting is s big adult!
