italian pixie owner ;)

hi guys! my pixie at the moment is 8 months old...today i gave a mouse to my frog: my frog, before attacking, swell and deflate is body...maybe frogs prepare their stomach if they see a large prey?

another question: my frog took the mouse, killed him and started to eat...the mouse was quite entirely eaten, but at the end my frog spitted the mouse and didnt eat him is this normal? i have to leave the dead mouse in terrarium or i have to get off?

Sometimes they will spit the mouse out if it is to big for the frog. Was it an adult mouse or Pinky? You must remove the dead mouse or it will attract unwanted bacteria and insects. More than likely you'll have to throw it away unless you can wiggle it with tongs to get the frogs attention to try and it it again, but if its too large he may not appear interested.

Puffing up with air is a defence mechanism. They do this when they feel threatened. He was preparing to attack the mouse.

You must be careful not to overload the frog's system with fat and protein or its eyes will begin to become cloudy. I would only give him a mouse every 3 weeks to a month and just use crickets and Night Crawlers between feeding mice.

[arci90]

so a mouse a week is too much? my frog in a week eat only 1 mouse..its overfeed (i mean about fat and protein)?

[Bruce]

Only feed mice about every other month, every month at the most.

[arci90]

thank you guys for answers

i have another question: when a pixie is sexually adult? i mean...my pixie is 8 months old...the years to be in reproductive-age?

[arci90]

these are some photos of my frog...can u help me to sex my pixie? my frog is 8 months old, and i heard some calls during this time...

[Bruce]

Do you know the length?

[arci90]

i just measure my frog...11-12 cm lenght and 9,5-10cm width; the measures are taken in the position of first photo...

I'm gunna go ahead and say female then. My 2 month old confirmed male is that big already, and his head is much broader as well. The sound you heard was probably her grunting, my female does that sometimes too, and she's 4
Congrats! If you ask me, females have their perks over males. Less food, less poop, and not as aggressive in my experience.

Hi guys, now i have a double of african bullfrog...but probably i'll have to change terrarium

How many liters/gallons i need for an adult double (M+F) of african bullfrogs?

[GRABibus]

It's a female.
Concerning mouse, I give one mouse per month maximum to my female.
Otherwise, I feed her (She's one year old) 1 to 2 times per week with Dubia roaches, adult locusts, black crickets and nightcrawlers (Even if she doesn't like them anymore).

With M+F, they must have the same age and must be installed to be sure they have places to hide and enough place.

I should take a terrarium of 1m long and 50cm large.
