Size:  85.9 KBi bought this pixie about 3 months ago at 1" long. now it is 4.5" long. I have only fed it mainly frozen mice and rats but it will eat anything every 2 days. it is probably very fat so I am now cutting back on rodents and feeding fish, roaches, worms... it has not croaked yet or made any other sounds. please let me know what you think? male or female

    thanks for your help
    actually my guess it is a very obese male.

    Matt, before you get more frogs, you need to fix diet of that one before it is too late. NO MORE mice/rats/fish, only a few nightcrawlers/roaches/crickets per feeding for at least a month and see how it'll go.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Its risky to ship it if its under 40 degrees for the night time low. If you can get a reputable person to ship you will be fine as long as its not under 30. I would wait till spring/summer. Mikesfrogs can give you advice on what shipping in cold weather needs to consist of. He shipped my Cornutas and devised a pretty clever setup for keeping them warm. It was a large box (insulated) with a smaller box (also insulated) with two 40 hour heat packs outside the small box. It was about 40 degrees NTL and the frogs were perfect temp when they arrived.

    Again, wait until spring is my advice.
