Getting a pixie today! Question please

[4mb3rNich0l3]

Im getting a baby pixie frog(and a baby pacman as well) today and was told he is about the size of a nickle. What size container would be best to keep him in? I have 6qt containers but even that seems a bit big for that size of a little frog! And what would be the best food?

I think that size container should be fine. I keep my baby pacman/pixies in ten gallon tanks and feed them small crickets and pieces of worm.

Ok thanks. And I was gonna ask about earthworms lol. They feed him crickets and mealies, which im stopping the mealworms. I feed thwm to my leopars geckoa but wouldnt the frogs

That foggy film is not good. Could be an infection. You may have to take your frog to a vet. That sucks to if you just got him. Where did you get them from?

Could any sort of eye drop help? A local guy who bred his pixies. Ill get a picture later tonight

His eye is getting better from yesterday, so that seems to be a good sign. him or my pac havnt eaten yet though. Any tips to help get them to eat?

Hopefully his eye will clear up completely. He could have been kept in not so clean conditions and that may have caused his foggy eye due to him begining to tox out. Keep his water changed daily.

Sadly we can assure you this was not a captive bred Pyxi unless it's from the frog ranch. it's not uncommon to breed Pacs but Pyxis are almost as hard to breed in captivity as any animal known to man. If its true that he did breed them that's great !!! we would love to have a truly succesful Pyxi breeder as a member here, but it just requires lots of room and even more particular conditions...

the cloudy eye is usually a bacterial issue. hope he gets better!
