I have been given a big bag of Rainforest bark and am wondering if it's ok to use in an FBT setup, I know it's good for humidity but it is it ok for the toads?

It's ok, I didn't want to take any chances so I have Eco-earth in there.

It's a large exo-terra 95cmx45cmx45cm with the Eco-earth substrate, some moss and large pebbles, cork bark and some fake ferns. I piled the earth to make a varied terrain with some cave like areas under the ferns and bark at the back and they seem to like it there. There is a large seed tray with water and rocks with a fern and piece of bark providing a sheltered area of water.

Temperature is about 22 degrees on average, 19 at night with 75% humidity on average.

There are five toads, one is definitely a male and is quite vocal.

Are the pieces bigger than the toads mouths?

It's euro rep rain forest substrate by the way

It's quite chunky with big pieces, it's confusing because I hear lots of people using it

I'd suggest not to use it - all it takes is to swallow one small bit when trying to catch food - then you have an impacted toad. Stick with Eco-earth if possible, no harm done if ingested.

Should be, it's not toxic so as long as there's not a risk of them eating it and becoming impacted then it'll be fine.

Is it quite chunky or fine?
