Re: pixie wont come out of his burrow he is hiding in
thanks grif, will try and get that done tommorow morning since its already late here and its almost my other animals bedtime. any suggestions on handling him? he is so aggresive and probably since he hasnt eaten in a while im geussing he will want to eat anything he can, more so then he normaly is like. im afriad for when hes full grown so any tips will definately help!
Re: pixie wont come out of his burrow he is hiding in
so good news is i know where he is and he isnt that far down, bad news is i cant manage to find a way to get him out. whenever i try to move his plant to get to him so i can grab him he starts hissing and if i brush away the dirt overtop of him he hisses at me to. he is such an aggresive frog im scared he will bite me and hes probably scared im going to hurt him. should i just man up and quickly grab him while he hisses or would that be a bad idea?

You always want to avoid their face. Go at him from behind and be gentle yet firm so he doesn't break loose from your grip. When dealing with large aggressive frogs there is always a chance you could get bit. Try your best to avoid it by avoiding the frogs face. Be careful and scoop him out from underneath and behind and you should be fine. Do be quick because the less time you're handling him the less chance he has to bite you.Originally Posted by mafoo

major problem here i think, i got him out of his tank and he was ready to eat so i offered a night crawler but instead he decided to go poop. after he finished i noticed a red thing sticking out! ive read about prolapses and that kind of thing but this is just freaky... i thought he was having a bloody poop but its not coming out and its just sticking out, really worried, rest of his poop was fine but the red thing isnt going back in/coming out so i dont know whats going on with him. no clue what to do now
edit: right as i finished writing this post it went back in. is this normal???
Re: pixie wont come out of his burrow he is hiding in
No it isn't normal. It is good that the prolapse went back in, but it may be swelled slightly. Prepare another bath of luke warm de-chlorinated water and dialogs 4 to 5 drops of honey in and then soak your frog for 20 minutes. Pour some of the Honey/water solution over his back too. After the 20 minutes are up. Replace the water in his soaking dish with Luke warm de-chlorinated water and place him back in the enclosure in his dish and leave him be. Keep his temps at 80° F and humidity at 80%. Keep a close eye on him for a few days.
What all do you feed him and how often?
Re: pixie wont come out of his burrow he is hiding in
will get all that done today. i normaly feed him nightcrawlers and occasionly throw some crickets in his tank if he doesnt eat much that day so he can munch on them throughout the day. i feed him every day and he normaly eats 4-6 nightcrawlers. he hasnt eaten in the days he was buried though so this was probably from the day before he started hiding which he didnt eat much, only around 2 nightcrawlers because he was having a bit of problems getting them in his mouth to actualy eat so he just stopped after fighting with the second one.

Do you dust his food with Calcium with D3 and a Multivitamin with Vitamin A?
