leaf litter. Gather some oak and or magnolia leaves or almond if you want to buy them and throw them in. Well maybe you wanna wash them first. Trust me, its better.

No you dont have to cut or crush them. It is better to let them dry first that way they last longer and look more natural. I myself collected a bag full of Magnolia leaves just before they fell off the tree in the autumn. That is how I use them, dry and brown.

I'd like to see a pic if you have a camera around. I would like to do something similar. Kudos.

Hi bonsai1504,

Did you get your frogs online? I have been doing research on them but do not have any local stores to check out.
