Pixie not eating

lenny Jun 14, 2003 02:19 PM

I have been trying to feed my pixie frog crikets and super worms without success. Also it is spending much of it's time buried. Any suggestions?

Your frog is probably hibernating, they do this when it gets colder.

African bullfrogs come to the surface when they get hungry. Try misting the substrate to get him up and moving. In truth, these frogs do not hibernate as much from temperatures. The real stimulus is water sources. Andy

Actually Pyxies or African Bullfrogs don't hibernate, they estivate. And if you're having trouble getting him to eat they can't resist goldfish. And I have had some frogs that will not eat while I am in the room so try that too.
