    Default Food rate

    My new pixie is doing great, been growing strong. Has an insane appetite compared to my pacmans. He's about 4.5 inch right now and i'm not sure how much to feed him cause he will eat non stop. Currently I'm doing nightcrawlers during the week and then crickets on the wknd at a rate of bout 4 canadian crawlers every other day and then about 15 crickets on the wknd. Just kinda curious if thats enough? to much? ect

    Earthworms are a very well balanced food and high in good nutrition. If your frog is still growing, it's virtually impossible to overfeed it on earthworms alone. I would keep doing what you're doing until growth slows down significantly.

    I have a pixie about that size and 5 nightcrawlers is about what I feed him. Sounds like you are doing good.

    I try to feed my frogs two days on and one off. I think it was Jeff from Jela's Phat Phibs that told me that. It has worked like a charm.
