Lighting

[jaguilar15]

Do pixies need lighting? cuz i have each one of my pixies confined in a cheap plastic pullout drawers for now. I am wondering if this need some type of lighting so i can give them some sunlight if i have to

Yes, pyxies require a 12 hour photo period each day.

I have never used a light for my pixie frogs, but I do agree they do need the photo period. If you are using a clear bin and the room that they are kept in is bright during the day you might be alright. Mine get light 8-10 hrs a day from ambient light.

Okay, i am planning on moving my pixies outside until it gets dark

What are the consequences of no light..does anyone know?

[pixiefrogman]

Well lighting will stimulate the frog's appetite because 12 hours of light simulates summer in Africa.

Like Tj said, It's natural for them. Also while I don't have scientific proof of this, I do believe that having a light cycle is good for their mental well-being.
