pacman frog woke up after a 2 month sleep

[katon]

I noticed when I got home from work my pacman frog was back up from the depths of her eco earth and chilling in a water dish. I went to give him her some night crawlers but didn't seem interested in it. do they need some time just to get readjusted after such a long sleep? was thinking about going and getting some crickets but wasn't sure. all tank temps and humidity is at perfect levels. she also seems in good health but is hiding in her half log.

What are your temp and humidity levels? They normally won't go under for months like that without some sort of environmental cues..

They was set 82 heat day and 77 night. Humidity was 80%. She was always a digger and would be under for days at a time. She ate some night crawlers and got a belly full and dug all the ways down. I would check and see she was moving time to time going in a circle but she just wouldn't come up and I didn't want to bother her because I heard that was a bad thing to do. I got her from petco about 8 months ago and she has always been shy I guess because of that experience.

Huh, that's kind of odd. And she hasn't lost any weight or anything? Do you know if she was actually brumating or just chilling down there? If they're brumating they'll have kind of a thick mucousy coat over their whole body. In the future, you can dig them up or just uncover their mouth/eyes every couple of days to feed them unless they're actually brumating. They might not like it, but IMO keeping them eating outweighs the tiny bit of stress that would cause.

She is as plump as the day she went under. All I could see was her legs and a bit of tummy from bottom of the tank. I didn't see her come out from the depths of the tank but her water dish was very dirty from her. I kept changing it out ever few days incase she got thirsty.

Not entirely true. Weather changes can cause them to go down. Sometimes they will go down without any change in tank climate.

lol Didn't think about that. My pac is pretty much the only one of my herps that doesn't respond to seasonal changes.

You might be lucky she doesn't unless you ever decide to let her. Some of mine will go down for a week and others a month.

well she came up for about 12 hours then went back down. I guess she had to drink a bit and shed. all tank levels are where they should guess im not good company
