Hello everyone , I'm new to this site, and pyxie frogs in general. I picked up a pacman frog about a month ago, and 2 weeks later it died from Chytrid. The pacman was my first frog, and I did not recognize that he was acting strangely from the fungus. I still tried to give him the lamisil treatment, but I was too late.
Ok, now to brighter topics, I just picked up a new frog. He is a Pyxie, but as a giant or regular african bullfrog im not too sure. But I am mostly curious as to how Chytrid affects these frogs, and does anyone do preventative treatments for chytrid? I also was planning to keep him in the 10 gallon tank that I kept my pacman frog in, after I get rid of the coco-fiber and sterilize with a bleach solution. Would there be a problem with this? Obviously until he gets bigger?
Another question, I used coco-fiber for my pacman. I purchased my Pyxie at a reptile store in Twin Cities area. I asked where they kept the cocofiber and they said that they do not recommend cocofiber for Pyxies, and they directed me to the sphagnum moss. Now I have been doing a little more extensive research, and I am finding that the moss is actually less ideal. What do you guys think?
Currently he is in a sterilite (quarantine w/ paper towel substrate) so I can keep a good eye on him, and make sure he is healthy.
Thank you everyone that has read this, and to anyone who (may) respond.
