Can Pixie Frogs Eat ham.

[arielgasca420]

human food isnt good for amphibians, just because of the way it is handled and packaged. A lot of people die annually of certain food bacteria such as salmonella and ecoli.
One way I look at captive bred amphibians is the same as keeping a boy in a plastic bubble. Frogs that are captive bred are very sensitive because they have not been exposed to certain things found in the wild which makes their immune system different. It is very risky with shrimp, and you may be too young to know this, but shrimp pools in other countries are unregulated and can be extremely unsanitary in some case (don't ask me to go into it because it will make you never want to eat shrimp again). Even regulated shrimp farming here can be risky because of how many shrimp they pack in a small area can lead to bacterial growth.

just a side note, but make sure you get your parents permission to use this site, if you havent already. I think they will need to personally message DonLisk (founder)

FYI to anyone who doesn't already know salmonella is very commonly found on the skin of reptiles and amphibians. This is one of the main reasons why hand washing after handling your reptiles and amphibians should be common practice.

Never feed processed meats or human food of any kind to your frog. Glad you asked everyone before trying it. Everyone is spot on with their advice.

thanks for the reminder Griff. I wash my hands before and after handling all my herpes and have not dealt with Salmonella yet

It is easily prevented by keeping your hands washed.
