Provides Thermal Cover For Hibernation & Estivation --- Frogs are intelligent amphibians and have countless strategies to deal with the 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 the midst of the litter for spending and surviving this winter!. Keeps Frogs Out Of Dirt --- As frogs live in such a habitat where dirt sticking is a very common occurrence, you need to take a few measures being their parents. This sticking of the dirt causes unnecessary stress and physical issues in them. Adding a thick layer of leaf litter over the substrate will give them a lot of room to hop on and restrain themselves from getting muddy in the mud. 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 decaying litter, the leaves offer them better and increase the chance to reproduce. The breakdown process influences the pH of the soil. Sustain Population Of Microfauna --- Microfauna such as isopods and springtails thrive in such an ambience. Since frogs are carnivores, the leaf litter attracts centipedes, beetles, millipedes, worms, spiders, and slugs that serve as their food source. Consequently, together, they help in keeping the vivarium clear. The breakdown of leaves also aids in floral growth. Add Beneficial Elements To The Substrate --- When the pack of 50-pieces of dried leaves by SunGrow is spread on the floor of the vivarium, see your beloved pets hopping on to them. This will crush the leaves providing you with a visual barrier and hide for the inhabitants. As it will gradually break down, it will release elements that will prove to be highly beneficial for your overall frog’s development.
