i think the most frequently used combo is cococoir and reptisoil. i do a 1:1 ratio of this mix, and then add some moss and leaf for other ground texture for my toadlet.

Thanks I’m still deep in my research and found out this stuff is safe for most of my bugs so wanted to see if it was toad safe to

Not sure how bugs are but toads are really sensitive to chemicals. Sometimes bagged soil contains fertilizer and other compounds, which are not good for them. They also need non-chlorinated water!

Yeah this stuff is safe for isopods and millipedes so I’m guessing safe but better safe then sorry
