Coconut substrate sticking to frog???

[Megan]

The coconut husk substrate I'm using is constantly sticking to my WTF.

This doesn't seem to particularly bother the little guy but occasionally I see him attempt to swipe some off his sides with his front legs like perhaps it might.

This is the first time I've used this stuff. Is the bedding not moist enough? It holds together slightly when squeezed but no water drips out. When I spray it down it doesn't seem to improve the situation any.

I know that tree frogs have some pretty sensitive skin and I don't want this to be an irritant. Should I make it even wetter or just switch substrate?

maybe add some leaf litter or ground cover plants such as moss to help keep it from collecting on him and add to the aesthetics of the enclosure.

I might try a different type of moss - I did try some sphagnum moss but he kept getting bits of it in his mouth (and eating it) while diving for crickets so I took it all out since I was told this can majorly cause impaction. I think he'd like the typical shorter sectional pieces of "frog moss" though so I'll have to try this out. Thanks for the suggestion.
