For a 3 inch pixie, probably around 15-25 adult crickets in a 15 minute feeding limit. If he is trying to hide, could be a number of reasons: Stress (Too much human contact, displaced from getting moved into a seperate container). You could try covering up 3 sides of the tank with dark material besides the front view, give him time he should settle down. He should only look 'lethargic' in the daytime, these frogs are nocturnal so they will become active at night after resting the entire day. Burrowing, hiding, basking, give any of the circumstances. Do you give him anything else besides crickets? Crickets don't have a whole ton of nutritional value, only if they're properly gut loaded 24 hours before feeding time will they give any potential amount of nutrition for your frog. More variety the better, I need to practice it too! I feed mine, crickets and large night crawlers. The night crawlers are an excellent source of protein and very easy to keep. By mineral dustings, you mean you're only using calcium and d3? You need to get a multivitamin as well to get the extra vitamins lacking from the diet herps get in captivity. Calcium supplement can be offered 2-3 times a week, and multivitamin once a week. Other than that proper temps and humidity is all I can say, if things get out of hand still... Then I can't really help you anymore, you'll need to go to a vet.
