So Gorf is Aestivating, now what?

[JuanJordanos]

Ok, the Gorfman has been underground for a week now, and I am almost positive he is aestivating. Now what do I do? Do I wait till he resurfaces? Am I supposed to initiate the waking? Tell me what to do John!

Thanks

Unless you keep him under the right conditions (cooler, away from disturbances) he'll likely wake up on his own in a couple of weeks. If you want to keep him down, put him somewhere cooler in the house and just lightly mist his tank every day or two. I say cooler because when they bury themselves they get down to cooler, more stable temperatures.

To wake him up deliberately, give the tank a good soaking. He should be up in a couple of hours.
