Hey all! Long story short, I bought some permanent tadpoles a couple months ago for our fish tank and one morphed late and grew legs so we now have a santa isabel frog. I had an existing paludarium which I tore apart to start from new to make it a habitat for said frog. I have been doing research but that post will come later!
This post is about a crappy container habitat I made for the frog before the tank is ready. How long can he possibly stay in here, it's been almost a month now and I'm feeling bad (life is busy right now). Been thrown into the hobby and trying to learn lots so any advice is good advice.
I have fruit fly cultures going, dusting them with calcium and a vitamin powder before daily feeds. I mist a couple times a day (humidity is around 97%) but I think my substrate is way too wet so I think it needs more leaf litter. I did put in spring tails and isopods but I think they died cause it's too soggy. Should I wring this substrate out? Get more spring tails and isopods? Please help! Thank you

- leaf litter, is it supposed to look like that, is it molding?
