[jackgatrell]

i have had my pixie for around 4 months and been feeding him every other day he has never turned down bugs but for the past 4 days he's not eating or taking any notice in food, the temp has slightly dropped as uk is freezing atm but its still around 25-32 degrees is this normal ?? thanks.

25-32 C is 77-89.6F. almost 90 is a bit overkill. sometimes they just want a break, when they're bigger they don't need food every day, but would you please answer those questions to cover all bases.

4 days is nothing, I have had frogs go weeks without wanting to eat. I feed my frogs once a week to once every other week only. BTW what was the last meal it had and has it defecated?

Could be weather related slow down but if he doesn't eat in the next couple days then try a small mouse if you're worried.
