## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is ABG made of?**
A: It is a special blend of Charcoal, Milled sphagnum moss, Fir bark, Tree fern fiber, and Peat moss.

**Q: What animals can live on this substrate?**
A: ABG is ideal for Dart Frogs, Mantellas, Tree Frogs, Bumblebee Toads, Tropical Geckos, Anoles and Tarantulas.

**Q: Can it be mixed with other substrates?**
A: We do not recommend diluting the ABG with other substrates like coco fiber as it may not work as intended.

**Q: How many bags do I need?**
A: We recommend roughly 1 4qt bag per square foot of floor space. (Click on product images for a chart)

**Q: Why can't I use it by itself?**
A: While ABG is great for plant growth, the other substrate parts are important for the animals! False Bottom increases humidity and keeps the soil from becoming overly wet. Sphagnum Moss and Leaf Litter keep the ABG from sticking to frogs.
