I had the same issue.. after talking to multiple people, it seems it's a common thing with Pyxies..something to do with texture..they have a little trouble gripping them..

Mine outgrew crickets...
I got my baby Pyxie about 8 or 9 days ago. He's about 2-3 inches long. He ate 2 crickets the morning after we got him and ate 4 or 5 crickets 3 days later, and that was a chore. I kept rubbing a...
Hello! Haven't been here in ages!! I often find slimy something, sometimes lloks like a small wad of white mucus, in Le Bud's water dish and assumed it was left over skin, as he usually sheds in his...
So its been about a month now since this guy has eaten. I dig him out every few days and try to feed him. I make him a soak and he'll usually sit for a while, shed, and burrow again. He's also been...
My pac has excreted something like this a few times. No idea what it was, but nothing ever seemed off when he did. I always contributed it to him shedding and eating so much of it?... because he...
Yep. He almost always burrows all the way down though
This much less though? He hasn't eaten in 8 days
Le Bud my Pacman used to eat about 6-10 night crawlers almost every other night. Sometimes he'd skip an extra night. He's been eating less and less, which I attributed to him maturing and not needing...
Thanks! I've been going back and forth trying to figure out. I thought he needed more than a little bit of light. I'm thinking he'll be good with no lights, day or night.
What about feeding a mouse before leaving? That way you know he's good and stuffed. I'm fairly new to this, so not entirely sure how wise of an idea it is. But I've done it twice. Maybe someone else...
Le Bud does this every so often. He'll eat and eat and eat, hide away for a day or two and then spend an entire night just chillin in his dish. First time he did it made me nervous too, though. I...
Went to go turn on Le Bud's red light since I put on air conditioning tonight. Unfortunately, the bulb is out. I have a 50 watt blue light bulb.. will this light be visible to him? Want to keep him...
Yeah it is crazy he sometimes will jump up to grab the next one as soon as he sees it coming! But the Europeans, forget it. Didn't eat for almost a week cause he kept refusing the Europeans I have....
I have the Europeans, but he can't be bothered. Not sure if it's because they're too small. They've gotten bigger, I'm hoping they will grow more though. Still have been going out and buying them by...
I finally ordered some Europeans! The are pretty small though, hoping they'll get bigger. Right now my big guy won't even eat them. I'm realizing maybe it is Canadians I've been getting for him. Any...
I am trying to order European Nightcrawlers for my pacman... Someone on here referred me to redearthworms.com. I have also looked at Speedy Worm and Worms4earth.com. Has anyone else used any of these...
Ahh that's very good to know! I had no idea what the black line meant! Do you use a mixture of bedding? Or just one material?
Thanks! I've been doing some of my own research, but that's probably the best article I've read so far! As far as "harvesting" goes.. can I just pull a few worms out of the bin for a feeding, or do I...
Since Le Bud has become so picky and doesn't seem to like crickets as much, I am considering starting a nightcrawler bin. They are $5 for a dozen at the pet store, and in Connecticut the baitshops...
Thanks! He's been getting better about the tong feeding, but we still haven't perfected it. I use the ecoearth, so I know it shouldn't hurt him.. But why eat dirt if you don't have to? I'll have to...
Where in CT are you? I believe Jimmy O's bait & tackle in Bridgeport is year round. There's also a reptile shop in West Haven. I've never been yet, but they would probably have them. Pet smart seems...
I want to feed my Pacman in a separate container because I feel like he eats just as much substrate as he does food. I don't handle him much. The few times I've tried putting him in a separate...
My guy wanted nothing to do with the night crawlers at first. Would eat at least a dozen or more crickets almost every night, so he's definitely a good eater. Someone suggested to use tongs and rub...
My guy stays buried most of the time. He comes out for an occasional shed and will uncover his head when he's hungry. Sometimes I scoot him out of his hole, because he is not a fan of moving, if a...
Thanks! I switch it up between nightcrawlers and large crickets.. They are probably about the length between his eyes or a little smaller
