Modifying My Pyxie's Behavior?

[daltar08]

I seem to have spoiled my pyxie, while i hear of others pyxies attacking anything and everything, my pyxie wont try and eat anything and everything that comes into contact with his eyesight. he eats well, and eats as he pleases, but he only cares about thing that are moving rapidly in front of him, he will take a roach when it is crawling around, however that same roach he will refuse from the tongs, after speaking with member cyrus69 i believe we have figured out the reason for this. i dump a bunch of crickets in his cage every morning and because of this, there is always food around for him, which in turn is causing him not to care about food, i can throw a worm in his cage and he just doesnt care, same with superworms, nightcrawlers ect. he only really goes after the roaches and crickets, now as these are somewhat expensive food choices to use as a primary staple, im wondering if i were to remove all the crickets out of his cage, stop feeding for 2-4 days and then start a feeding regimen of every other to every 2 days. do you think this would cause him to be a more aggressive feeder? he is definitely healthy, just picky.

Here is the picture of my fatass

yea just hold food from him for every few days 3-4 and when you do feed him give him as much as he can eat in 15 mins

you can try to hold food from him and then offer, but some are just shy and picky eaters and there is nothing you can do about it.

yea i understand that, but i'm wondering if this will work. not if my frog is just like this. because if this doesnt work than obviously he is just shy and thats cool too

the only way to know is to try keep us posted

My female acts roughly the same as yours.
When she was young, she ate everything moving.
Now, she only catches things that are moving fast as roaches, crickets, locusts...And doesn't accept nightcrawlers anymore (Since 2 months) when they are on substrate. She only catches when they are in the water bowl, because in this case, they move a lot in water.

I think those frogs can change their feeding habits with time....
