Feeding a baby pyxie, what is the right amount?

I've been feeding mine about 6-8 crickets a night. He will tong feed but in his new tank he now dives into the water area when I open the tank so he won't let me do that anymore.

because of the fake plants in the water, my lil guy can eat all he want in the water in fact that is where i do the feeding, i do not need to worry about him swallowing a mouthful of coco fiber in the water. just a suggestion id put out there

I've tried feeding mine in the aquatic area when he is in there and he wont go for it. That and the crickets die within 30 seconds for some reason.

that seems like a small amount lol maybe its because my frog is so much larger =P

OK, now since ive taken your guy's advice hes eating 8to 12 a day, this is ok right? hes a bit bigger than a golfball

They will stop eating when full. The rule of thumb so to speak is whatever they can eat in 15 minutes. I just feed mine about 6-8 crickets a night and usually throw in 1-2 red wigglers as well to help with digestion.
