About this item Adds Beneficial Elements to the Substrate — When the pack of 100 pieces of dried leaves by SunGrow is spread on the vivarium floor, see your beloved pets hopping on to them. This action will crush the leaves, providing you with a visual barrier hiding the inhabitants. As the leaves gradually break down, it will release elements that will be highly beneficial for your frog’s overall development. Sustains Microfauna Population — Microfauna such as isopods and springtails thrive in such an ambiance. Since frogs are carnivores, the leaf litter attracts centipedes, beetles, millipedes, worms, spiders, and slugs that serve as their food source. When leaves break into smaller portions, it also aids in floral growth. Consequently, together, they help in keeping the vivarium clear. Improves Chances of Reproduction — If you want to create opportunities for a thriving habitat, you need to spread the SunGrow leaf litter in the terrarium setup. As they feed off the litter, the leaves offer them better and increase the chance of reproducing. The process also influences the pH of the soil. Keeps Frogs out of Muck — As frogs live in a habitat where muck sticking is typical, you must take a few measures for their parents. Adding a thick layer of leaf litter over the substrate will give them much room to hop on and restrain themselves from getting muddy which can cause them psychological and physical concerns. Provides Thermal Cover for Hibernation & Estivation — Frogs are intelligent amphibians and have countless strategies to deal with extreme climatic conditions. Leaf litter keeps the soil temperature consistent and insulates your pet against cold and heat. American toads and other terrestrial frogs are good diggers who can burrow deep into the soil to reach their leaf litter. See your pet making room for himself in midst of the litter for spending and surviving this winter!
