## Overview

SunGrow Shredded Catappa Leaf Litter is a premium terrarium substrate designed to boost humidity, support microfauna, and enrich shallow pools with beneficial tannins. Its shredded form accelerates breakdown and evenly distributes natural compounds, creating a vibrant, naturalistic environment ideal for all frog life stages and tadpole care.

## Description

SunGrow’s Shredded Catappa Terrarium Leaf Litter adds beauty, improves humidity, creates a playground for your pet, and for tadpole teas. The warm rust-colored leaves add texture and interest to your terrarium. They provide food and shelter to isopods, the small critters that help clean up waste and debris and many frogs like to eat. The litter traps moisture creating a humid substrate to keep your African dwarf frog or bullfrog moist. The primary benefit of adding the shredded leaves is that they break down more quickly than whole leaves, releasing their beneficial compounds into the environment at a faster rate. They also spread more evenly throughout the habitat, providing a uniform distribution of tannins and other compounds. Some pet owners prefer to add shredded leaves instead of whole ones because it creates a more natural and textured substrate. This can enhance the overall appearance of the habitat. Moisture is vital for frogs because they need to absorb oxygen and water through their skin. Some frogs are aquatic, some are semi-aquatic, some are terrestrial, but all frogs need a shallow pool to stay moist. Frogs drink through their skin and need moist skin to breathe. Add some catappa shred to make your pet’s pool a beneficial spa. Catappa leaves contain tannins and other positive properties that reduce water hardness, sooth skin, and add a beautiful tan tint to the water. Frogs also love hunting, tunneling, and leaping in the litter. SunGrow Catappa Leaf Litter Shred is ideal for tadpole tea, the pool nursery for tadpoles. Boil some shreds in a gallon of water for about fifteen minutes for a beneficial tadpole tea. The leaves can be reused up to five times for tea and then let them dry out and use them as terrarium litter. SunGrow Shredded Catappa Terrarium Leaf Litter is ideal for your frog for their happiness, wellbeing, and for their next generation.

## Features

- Makes several tadpole teas and then use in terrarium --- To raise happy, thriving tadpoles, brew some tadpole teas with SunGrow’s catappa leaves. Add some shred to a gallon of water and boil for fifteen minutes to extract the beneficial tannins for your tadpoles. You can get four to five brews of rich tannins and then let the leaves dry and add to your terrarium as a high-grade litter.
- Creates a humid substrate --- Amphibians need humidity to take in water and oxygen. It’s vital for skin moisture and respiration. Adding catappa leaves to your Gray Tree frog or desertcart Milk frog’s home will improve humidity so they feel their best. The beautiful bronze leaves add an attractive, textured substrate and mimic your frog’s original habitat making them feel like they’re home.
- Feeds micro fauna like springtails and isopods --- Isopods and Springtails, the gift that keeps giving! These tiny creatures help clean your tank and are a favorite snack of dart frogs and other frogs. How do you keep isopods and springtails happy, thriving, and working? Add SunGrow’s terrarium shredded leaf litter to your terrarium! They love it!
- Better than fen --- SunGrow’s leaf litter is a playground for your pet. They can hide, hunt for grubs, and tunnel under the leaves. Unlike mosses, it’s easy to shift the litter to clean up poops and debris, making maintenance faster and easier. Catappa or Indian Almod leaves also contain many helpful properties for your frog’s skin. Because the leaves are shredded, they will break down more evenly and rapidly than whole leaves. This ensures the leaves’ advantageous properties are distributed throughout your pet’s home for maximum benefits.
- Creates beneficial water for shallow pools --- Reed, Tomato, Leopard, and Mossy frogs love to swim. These semi-aquatic frogs will entertain and enchant you as they dart through the water. Adding just a tiny bit of catappa shred to your pet’s pool will boost their wellbeing, soothe skin, and add an enchanting light brown tint to the water. Catappa leaves contain tannins and other beneficial properties that reduce water hardness, hinder the growth of microfilm and other yuckiness.
