    Default New Frog.. normal?

    Hi everyone, long time no see :P Anyways my Petco got a green Pacman and he was just so cute I had to have him. I've named him Frobert, he is small and likes to hop and such. I got him home and put him in the tank and he started to burrow down where I could only see his eyes. I just checked on him and he is nowhere to be found o.O I take it he has burrowed all the way down. I take it this is normal for a new frog? My other frog Rupert doesn't burrow at all, and the times he has burrowed it wasn't far into the dirt. I don't want to dig him up because it will stress him out but I also don't want to lose my new guy xD

    My Tank loves to burrow. Sometimes I can just see his eyes, sometimes not at all . They are natural burrowers. Perfectly normal .

    Yep completely normal. Some will burrow all the way all the time, some will half the time, and some will only cover their body and leave their head out.

    Congratulations on your new frog; agree with others and sounds all normal to me.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    That's how Loki is sometimes. How is Rupert doing? I know you were nursing him back to health for quite some time? Just wandering how that was going?

    Still have to feed him worms ourselves I haven't been able to find crickets or I'm sure he would chase after them. He seems active and fine otherwise.

    I'm sorry to hear that atleast he's surviving and doing a lot better. Has he grown any since you started force feeding him?
