My dwarf African bullfrog will hold its head underwater for hours, then hop out and bury itself for a few days. Amphibians from temperate regions do well with a humidity gradient (places with high and low humidity).
Thanks for the input. She has plenty of soil. 2 bricks of eco earth. She has always burrowed herself comfortably in the earth during the nights until last night when she held her head under and stayed in the water all night. She is normal again today, in fact she is burrowed for the night right now.
Ive read many conflicting sources on humidity levels for Rococo Toads, likely because they inhabit such a diverse area of the planet. Ive read as low as 50%, and as high as 80%. Ive always kept it around the middle at 60 to 70%, and she has always seemed happy with this. Thats why I found her behavior so odd.
