    Before I do this in the morning. The only substrate needed is a thin later of water with a folded paper towel in the babies critter keeper correct? How often does it need to be changed? If very often or daily should I just use coco fiber?

    Sorry for the continuous posting, they 100watt bulb still doesn't heat the two tanks to 80F across the board. Cold side stays 73-74 which the pixie frog seems to stay burrowed on. The pacman is in the center of the tank. Could the pixie be wanting to hibernate? THe warm side is 82F

    Put the baby on cocofiber in the KK. You need a light for each enclosure then. Otherwise you may not get correct levels. I doubt the Pyxie wants to hibernate. If ambient air humidity is too low they will burrow to keep moist.

    The pixies AH is 85%, and the two pacmans are 75-80% daily.

    How old is your Pyxie? If your frog is over a year old you can let him/her have a period of aestivation. If not it is recommended that you do not let any frog under a year of age to hibernate. Its dangerous and a lot of young frogs never wake up. To keep him/her from doing so just keep the frog warm and perform warm de-chlorinated soaks. this will prevent the frog from feeling the need to aestivate.
