    I didn't measure really.

    I should say 8cms long (Excluding back legs of course, only the body).

    Arrrgh !

    My Pyxie frog does the same as my pacman frog : it burries very deep in the substrate,even with high temps and wet substrate.
    I remember that the first week I got my Pyxie, it burried deep also.
    After 10 days, I was obliged to exit it from the substrate to feed it.

    Now again, it burries. It is 3 days now, even with between 27°C and 32°°C in the terrarium and wet substrate.

    Could it be that it's too hot and so it burries ?
    Could it be that it is stressed by something ?

    How long can I wait before exting it again to feed it ? It is not prepared to burry for a long time (Too young according to me).

    Thank you for help.

    Thank you ! I love it also.

    But I observed that the more more it grows, the more it is shy.

    When it was young it was always in its water bowl and looking at me waiting for food. Now it hides all the day, never goes by itself in its water bowl (I forced him to go for poops and eating).

    When I change it to its final terrarium, I will add more hiding places (Wood barks, plants, etc...).

    I like to keep the cage set-up simple. What are the temps? its surprising to me that he now burrows for extended periods of time. the way you described how he acts / acted in his bowl jumping for food ect is exactly the response I get from each of my pixies!

    I made the substrate more wet to increase ground humidity.

    It is normal that it burrows sometimes. It is winter and frogs can feel the seasons changing outside, even if the care conditions don't change in the terrarium.

    My temps go from 75,2°F (under a wood bark which is a hidding place and the coolest point) until 86°F at hot spot.

    In roughly 70% of the ground surface of the tank where the frog can go, there is between 78.8°F and 82.4°F.

    but when it is in its water bowl, iyt keeps on jumping and having an extremely high feeding response (Even on earth )
