It's hibernating. Which for those kinds of frogs essentially means burrowing under the ground, forming a "cacoon" of skin over themselves, and staying there for a few weeks.

I have a dwarf pyxie. The care is pretty much the same as w/ a pacman. My pyxie brumated for 4 months last year! I just check him about once a week & spray him about once a week. Spraying more often will wake him up, so don't do this until spring.
