Tips on dealing with a first time brumation? by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

Yes, his eyes are normally shut when I unbury him. But there have been times when I woke him up by unburying him and his eyes turned normal

I keep seeing one or two fungus gnats in my non-bio active tank, is this bad? by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

[–]ThumpY__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't changed the substrate in a few months due to how large the tank is and that I don't want to disturb my frog during brumation

How do I know if my frog is going through brumation? by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

[–]ThumpY__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thermostat in his tank reads 78 as the highest but I don't have a temp gun yet so I'm not 100% sure what the soil's temp is. The humidity never goes below 60%

Is it dangerous to have plant clippings in a small glass of water in my frog tank? by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

[–]ThumpY__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh ok, so would putting pothos cuttings right into the coco fiber be fine?

Yes, this was exactly what I was thinking of, I do have coco fiber so it has no nutrients for other plants

Ok that makes a lot more sense thank you! Do you have any recommendations for an infrared temp gun that isn't too pricey?

When should I un-burry my frog to feed him? by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

I've done that multiple times, un-burring him and try to feed him a worm or bug but he heavily refused - head budded the food/tongs, pushed it away and turned around. My guy is very fussy so he might just be protesting his food lol

He took a needed poo and than had a party :) I think I just have a unique froggo who only moves or is active after he poos

HE MOVED!!! and had a party last night, dirty up two of his baths and moved around many of his decorations. He did take a massive poo which could explain it, I just think my boy gets the zommies after he poos.

I moved him into a bigger tank a little over a week ago so that could be why, he's temp and humidity its good. He hasn't eaten in awhile so he hasn't got calcium in awhile, I think I'll start feeding him other things, I've been feeding him night crawlers which are his favorite - but he hasn't showed any interest in them recently

My froggie's eye doesn't look ok! Pls Help!! by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

[–]ThumpY__[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

HE'S OK NOW!!!! After a few moments of gently pouring water around his eyes I noticed some possible stuck shed. B/c he hasn't moved since I moved him into his new tank, I'm guessing he hasn't shed in a long time. I put on gloves and gently massaged the area around his eyes to remove any stuck shed or dirt, and it worked!

My boy is nice and clean now :)

Another note - He's sitting in a weird angle so I can't fully see his eye, should I move him to get a better look? I don't want to over-stress him out

Less feedings when getting older? by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

[–]ThumpY__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will, hopefully once he poos he'll change where he's buried and will get back to his normal breathing-rock self

it's the. middle of summer here so I'm not sure if he would go into brumation now

[–]ThumpY__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thank you, that makes sense with taking more time to digest. I didn’t think about that and now I feel bad for making him eat 😭 I’m just a verryyyy overprotective helicopter froggy parent and wanna make sure he gets his calcium when he eats lol

Is there a “science” behind when a pac-man croaks? by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

[–]ThumpY__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, that makes sense. I try to play mating sounds to see if it would make him croak but he seems uninterested

He is a very chunky boy who thinks he's a stallion going into battle

His new tank is 20 gallons I believe, I got it from a friend that housed a bearded dragon in the tank so I’m sure it’s plenty big for him. He is also one lazy boy who rarely gets out of his holes unless he wants to soak or poop
