Description
Josh’s Frogs Tropical BioBedding Bioactive Substrate (4 quarts) is the perfect substrate for your tropical bioactive enclosure. Tropical Biobedding is a unique blend of organic and inorganic ingredients, trace elements, and beneficial fungi that serves to jump start the bioactive environment. Tropical Biobedding helps maintain humidity while providing a substrate your pets can dig and lay eggs in, all while helping to maintain healthy populations of microfauna.
- Tank stays cleaner due to bioactive cycle
- Less substrate changes, which is less stressful on your pet
- Closer to replicating your pet’s natural habitat
- More attractive than traditional substrates
How to Prep: Mix contents of bag thoroughly. Place a 2.5-3 inch layer of Tropical BioBedding in your enclosure. Add dechlorinated or R/O water until BioBedding sticks together when squeezed, but no water runs out.
Recommended Animals: We do not recommend using Tropical BioBedding with Dart Frogs or anything that requires high humidity and low ventilation.

Suitable for Misted Setups: Yes. Tropical BioBedding does not require a drainage layer if used with light or hand misting. For automatic misting setups, use in conjunction with a 2 inch layer of Josh’s Frogs False Bottom and a Substrate Barrier. Use our Substrate Calculator now (but replace ABG Mix with BioBedding).
Care: Tropical BioBedding is a naturalistic vivarium substrate and is meant to house a bioactive clean up crew! Stir the surface of Tropical BioBedding every 1-2 weeks with a fork, or if waste is visible. Burying waste allows microfauna to process it quicker. Change the substrate when it begins to break down – typically after several years. Please note that Tropical BioBedding is designed to grow fungi – this is not a sign of a dirty tank, but of a healthy, clean bioactive environment.
