He wasn't showing any signs of distress (flailing etc) and he wasn't packed in, just lacked good solid footing to get out with. He promptly inhaled a superworm moments after these two pics
I did mix in some cypress mulch in that low area for traction purposes though.
poor lil guy. He looks so helpless...it was a good thing you were there to see that he didn't get into any real trouble. Peat Moss will do that when you add water to it. I love it when they get dirty.
