Confused Froggy

[Sheldon92024]

why would you want to fix this? if you have day/night for her and that is what she chooses to do, why worry? or if you want you can just not feed her for a while and when she is really hungry she'd start looking sooner. or use less substrate so she can't burrowed completely, then she'd see food as it comes, and you will be able to see her all the time too

As soon as her daylights come on she burrows back down. If I feed her in the morning, it is always totally dark. It's not like she's out hunting or soaking with the daylights on...wouldn't that be nice. Her internal clock is just tweaked. Nice idea regarding the substrate...thinking of trying that and/or giving her a few really short days (6-8 hours) to she if she comes up sooner.

I wouldn't experiment with shorter days, keep it at 12 hours day/night. the other thought - where is the tank? if the room is very bright ( lot of light) late at night- that might explain it too. all my frogs are in a reptile room, when light are out in the cages -the room is dark, but still they come out well after midnight on their own unless somebody is really hungry :lol:
