New baby pixie

[BG]

Welcome to the forum. You are going to love these frogs.They are going to open your thinking about frogs. These and all frogs have there own personality. They are awesome frogs. They are very smart. You have your self a little killer there. Nice looking baby. Its too young to tell yet if its a male. There's a great, I mean great informational care sheet here. Very helpful. But don't be shy to ask any thing . We have alot of pixie pros here. So keep them pics,and questions coming.

I know it is too early to tell if its male or female. Thanks for pointing out the care sheet but I already took the liberty to read it . There are already a few reptiles in the house so we arent completely new to reptiles/amphibians but I am super eager to watch it grow. He is already showing a unique personality.

They grow super fast,so take alot of pics.How is his apitite.lol What do you have him in.

We have him in a 10 gal with a 50 watt heat lamp, a water dish, some plants and a coco fiber substrate. He eats voraciously!!! Today he had 4 redworms and previously he has finished 15 small crickets and 5 small mealworms in one sitting. We are trying to vary up his diet as much as possible hence the switch to redworms for now.

I'm a little skeptical about the 50 watt heat lamp. Is it on one side, but still i think its to close to the frog. I think a heat pad on the side of tank is better. You can also use a 25 watt blue day lamp for the 10 gal. What is his temp in hot spot. Unless its very cold in the room.

for a 10 gallon i would lower the wattage to a 40 watt it should keep the temps around 86-88

well i don't keep the lamp on all the time....it is really hot where we are right now (california) so the cool side is about 76-77 the hot side is 86-88. I do have a dimmer for the heat lamp so we can maintain proper temps
