I would buy a nes Hygrometer and invest in a Zoo Med Hygrotherm and hook a Zoo Med Reptifogger up to it to maintain your frogs climate consistantly. Some frogs will go under anyway, but at this time of year he/she should not be trying to hibernate. You can dig him/her up and place the frog in a warm de-chlorinated soak. If you don't want him/her to go into aestivation you must maintain a constant 80% humidity and day time temps of 82 to 85. How long should i leave him in Aestivation before I need to be concerned.I'm assuming that your frog is over a year old due to its size. Should i not bring him out of his Aestivation.

I keep the soil moist by spraying once a day and pouring about a pint of water over the soil once a week or so. Humidity around 70%, although i think my guage is pretty cheap and not sure if it is accurate. The temps is around 82-84 in the day and 78-80 at night. ![]() He then usually sheds his exterior and then goes right back into aestivation again. I will get concerned after 5 days or so and dig him up and give him a soak. For the last month or two my adult pacman (4 inches across) keeps going into aestivation. ![]()
