  • Amazing quality
Perfect substrate for any terrarium
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2025 by Kenny

  • Great for tropical pets!
Great bedding for our tree frog. Stays moist all day, and is great for his plants and bugs . Also Great that we don't have to constantly be cleaning the poop, as this helps break it down, so we only have to clean it twice a year!

  • Exactly what Glarb, Augur of Calamity (whites tree frog) needed

I will buy again. This is good stuff - better than I can make myself buying ingredients at Lowes or someplace.

  • Great for terrariums
Used in my terrariums and so far so good. Checks a lot of the boxes on what a good terrarium substrate should have!

  • Surprise!!!
I am in the process of setting up a vivarium for my grandson. I was planning on collecting some lowly critters from around our area of Southeast Alaska for my grandson to observe. I mixed Josh’s Frogs Biobedding and ABG substrates. I placed them over Josh’s false bottom and barrier. There is nothing else in there but a flat rock which I washed and baked in the oven. This morning I found a miniature snail making its way across the rock. It is only 1mm and as cute as a button. Its shell is iridescent and stands up like a tire. As you can tell I am not upset about the snail. I even placed some fish flakes on the rock and spritzed the tank for it. I am worried that there maybe other live critters that came in the substrate which I may not be very excited about. The substrates themselves seem to be good quality mixes. I gave Josh’s Frogs substrates 5 stars because I am happy with them even with the snail. I realize many other peoples objectives are different than mine and would be horrified by the stowaway. I wrote this review because I thought others would like to know of the possibility of a stray hitchhiker. Update: The snail turned out to be a garlic glass snail. I am not sure what they eat as there is not much information online about them just a larger cousin. I also found out there were other hitchhikers in Josh’s BioBedding. Nothing harmful, just clean up crew type critters such as earthworms and millipedes. All of the critters must have come as eggs in the substrate. Still happy with Josh’s Frogs substrates. ... show more
