Hey everyone!
I bought a pixie toad last week, I love him very much. The first day I took him home he ate about 50 crickets in one go, ever since he's barely been eating. A few crickets every few days and a few superworms, I can't help but worry!
Some information about the toad and setup
- He's about 1.5 inches long, still fairly small
- I have a 15G tank, the temperature is around 77 and the humidity is around 60-80%
- I've fed him crickets, superworms, mealworms and hornworms.
- I'm using coco fibre and i have a shallow water bowl in the tank. Some leaves and what not.
- I can't tell if his bowel movements are normal or if they are happening at all. I most likely can't see it.
- Im trying to feed him everyday since he is still a baby
- I also can't really tell what is normal and abnormal behaviour for a pixie. He's pretty docile, loves to burrow and sit against the glass. Sits in his waterbowl
- I've been taking him out of his tank and into a smaller one to feed, maybe that's causing more stress?
I've talked to a few people at the reptile store and they suggested it could be stress - getting used to the new environment. i find myself patiently waiting for him to eat a lot so I can stop worrying. Figured id see what you guys think! Let me know if you need any information, any help or advice is appreciated
Thanks,
Love
Alisa
