    I think making a self draining enclosure may help. That way you can “water” them. Force them to come out and eat like in nature. And the water would wash away all the poo and pee. That way you don’t have to keep cleaning it every couple weeks. Like tank with a tap on the bottom. Clay balls. Mesh then sub straight

    • @maybelater1464
      @maybelater1464 Месяц назад +18

      That's called a false bottom, false bottoms don't help keep the tank clean or wash away poop. They keep the substrate from getting waterlogged so it doesn't grow mold or have bacterial blooms. Having something that's bioactive would help keep it clean, because the bacteria, isopods and springtails would eat the poop and recycle it.
      He said these frogs are prone to bacterial infections though. And bioactive terrariums work because there's active beneficial bacteria in the substrate. It's not the same kind of bacteria, but the point is that it's a perfect place for the bad bacteria to grow. It seems safest to just change it out.

    • @marikah6198
      @marikah6198 Месяц назад +2

      @@maybelater1464 I agree with your comments, but I think the previous suggestion was about having “drainage”, not the typical false bottom in enclosed space. I use drainage to my set ups. That way, you can replace water and air with new ones with minimum water staying at the bottom until the next time new water comes down. I think the suggestion was a way to decrease cleaning frequency, not necessarily suggesting to eliminate cleaning completely.

    Great to hear more about their care! Say, have you tried using bentonite clay instead of excavator clay? I know people have used it for dart frogs and the such but I’ve been looking into it as a more cost effective alternative to excavator clay. The cheapest way to get ahold of it is just as the 100% bentonite clay cat litters.
    Also ah, reptisoil… that stuff is great but it always manages to give me one million splinters every time I use it.

Or maybe you could try baking the substrate, then placing it in a bioactive enclosure with springtails to remove any extra contaminants such as feces might work? These guys are expensive...
