African Bullfrog Unable to Catch Food

[Nevfalath]

Thank you all for the information.

I am trying to completely restructure his feeding. All the articles I read say different things.

What does everyone think is the best staple food, and what does everyone feed their Pixies?

Night Crawlers or Dubia Roaches.

Nightcrawlers are a good staple. Phoenix worms are too tiny for a pixie. My pixies have the same issue with nightcrawlers. They have gotten lazy when it comes to catching their food. For my bigger pixies, I run the nightcrawlers over their forearms and they snatch them into their mouth.

I would go for the Dubia, they might easier for it to grab onto. And they are good for them. Superworms aren't a staple food, but they dont need to be completely avoided, and the same can be said about Phoenix worms.
I saw that Phat Phibs were feeding theirs baby chickens, which Im sure they absolutely love on occasion.

Thank you all so much for the help. He is doing much better now! I'm glad he is not sick. I was really worried for a while there!

Hi,

Sorry to hear of your trouble; Vit A/Cal deficiency can cause what is now being called Short Tongue Syndrome; common in this species as they seem adapted to a diet high in frogs and other vertebrates. Please see this article and the one by Dr Wright linked under Further reading and let me know if you need more info.

Best, Frank

I can't believe this post popped up.
Frank, I was just on your site reading this article on Short Tongue Syndrome.
The link to Dr. Wright’s research ( unless I missed something) does not go to his article?

Scary, I just put a sweet potatoe in the cricket bins.
