Hi !
Yes I digged up my Pyxie 3 months ago and put her in her water bowl, but she stayed just to shed and then go back on the substrate to burrow again.
Yesterday evening, I digged up her again and put her in her water bowl. She is still in, waiting for food now
But I will wait for 2 or 3 days before feeding, because if I feed her now and she burrow tomorrow, I will have to manage the poop in one week, means to dig her up again...
And alos, I have to buy mices, nightcrawlers and Dubias, which I didn't buy since months now....
Ok I couldn't resist
I fed her this evening : 2 baby mouses (Unfrozen) and 5 nightcrawlers.
That's a good first meal after this long rest period (Which may will restart soon).
Great videos! Thank you for sharing!
The today's meal : 2 dead adult mouses.
I usually don't feed 2 mouses in one time (Only one per month), but she won't during the next 3 weeks ( I leave for Holidays)
At 1 min 45 sec of the video, you can ear the mouse bones cracking....
Like Graboune's face just before it strikes !
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
Hi all,a long time I didn't come on the forum.Main reasons : death of my Pacman last year and another reason...MY Pyxie is burried since 15th August 2014 ! I know thgi sius typical behaviour, but it is now more than 7 months she is buried. I have checked : she is healthy (Skin seems ok, eyes ok) and she was reactive when I showed her an earthworm...Not so reactive as when she is in full active period, but at least, she showed inetrested for food. I tried to creat "natural" awaken by putting a lot of water in the tank, by uncovering her head, by exiting her and putting her in warm water some days....But nothing. She automatically burries again and again. I assume it is not time yet for awakening...How do you do to keep them more often awaken during the year than only 2 months as for me ? (Except lowering depth of substrate, which is an unacceptable method for me)
Update!!!
Yes, I would enjoy an update as well
Thanks to all
Graboune is very well. But I sold her because, I was a little bit frustated to see her only 1 or 2 months per year. 10 months burried per year.
I need a little bit to see my pets lol
I never wanted to be a bad Pyxie keeper by removing substrate to be sure to see her. Some people do that. They are pure stupid guys, only thinking about their own pleasure and not animal hapiness.
But she is still so nice and she is still an eating machine.
I sold her to one guy who is used to care reptiles and amphibians.
Here is a last video I took from her just before selling her...For all the Graboune's fans
I'm sorry you didn't get to see her very often but I am glad you found her a good home Is it possible to keep them from aestivating/brumating by keeping the temps up or is that unhealthy for them?
