Why choose a bioactive land frog enclosure?
A bioactive enclosure is a living habitat: live plants, natural substrate and leaf litter or moss work together like a slice of the wild. It holds humidity more steadily than a bare tank, gives your animal room to dig, climb and hide, and looks like a piece of nature in your home. Every part of this kit is chosen by our team for land frogs, so you skip the guesswork and start with a setup we'd use ourselves.
Setting up your land frog enclosure
- Temperature: 20–26°C by day, slightly cooler at night. Run heat through a thermostat.
- Humidity: 60–80%. Keep the substrate moist but never waterlogged.
- Lighting: low-level UVB and a 12-hour day on the Wi-Fi timers.
- Water: a shallow dish of dechlorinated water small frogs can climb out of easily.

Terrestrial frog enclosure kit FAQ
What substrate is best for land frogs?
A moisture-holding, soil-based mix like our Rainforest Substrate Mix, deep enough to burrow into, topped with moss and leaf litter.
Can I make it bioactive straight away?
Yes. Add a springtail culture and some isopods to the substrate and they will keep it clean and break down waste.
Do I need a licence?
Most Australian states require a licence to keep native frogs. See our Reptile & Frog Licensing guide.
Pairs well with: Springtail Cultures, Dwarf White Isopod (Trichorhina tomentosa), Electronic Reptile Thermostat, Flightless Fruit Fly Culture.
Supplies ship within 1 to 2 business days, depending on stock, and usually arrive 1 to 3 days after dispatch.

Every live animal is checked before it leaves us and packed by an experienced keeper.
If your animal arrives dead, contact us within one hour of delivery with a photo, and we will send a replacement. You don’t pay shipping on the replacement. Photo helps us identify what caused death so we can help prevent it from happening again with your order, and others.
Someone needs to be home to receive the parcel. We can’t cover animals left at a depot, sent to an incorrect address, or reported more than an hour after delivery.
