    Default My Pyxie Doesn't Like Roaches

    So for last week I've been trying to get my Pyxie to eat hissing roaches and he'll barley touch them. He has eaten a few, but most of the time he ignores them. Has anyone else had this happen?

    I've never tried feeding them with hissers, but I have used other roaches. If your Pyxie won't eat them, it's likely spoiled with food already. Give it a few days without food and try again. These frogs don't need to eat every day.

    I already tried waiting a couple of days and he still didn't show much interest. Maybe I should try Dubias.

    How old and big is your pyxie? He may not be hungry. Mine will eat and then sleep for like 2-3 weeks, and then eat again.
