To day one month has passed since I got my new friend Karybdis. S/he seems to be happy with life and has grown about 1 cm. The other day I also discovered some yellow colouration starting to appear around the front legs. Here's a photo of him/her after eating four crickets. Feeding time is a pleasure for both of us.
4 crickets a day?
very nice! thank you for sharing
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
I like the name, I recognize it from that giant anglerfish in the ocean hunter arcade game.
Such a cool little guy!
Gonna be fun seeing him grow. Hopefully he turns into a really big beast!
Might try feeding him more, mine have grown slight more than an inch in a month
Cute little blob nonetheless
Thanks for your comments! I've browsed the forum for growing rates and agree he has grown a bit slow compared to other pyxies. How much, on average, do they normally eat during 15 minutes when they're this small? The first crickets I got for him were quite big (black). It looked like he was "putting them in place" in his belly by rolling or twiddling his body if you get the picture. It looked rather uncomfortable for him so I didn't dare to offer him more than four at a time but perhaps I was overprotecting him. Now I have bought smaller crickets (brown) so now it feels safe to let him eat as much as he wants during 15 minutes. I would also like to get some roaches but so far they have been sold out in the pet shops I've called.
mines about 5inch now and he will be 2 months next friday.. my guy hasn't eaten for 2 days but he is fat and at the moment is deep underground for some reason.. but anyway i guess it depends on your frog really.
5 inches and only two months! You feeding him steroids lol.
no just worms lol.. infact about 6 mins ago he ate his first mouse.. might be because i havent feed him in two days due to the pet shop having **** dead food in stock, but yeah his first ever mouse pretty cool.
I tried mice before too but couldn't do it again, they are just to damn cute and squeak when being eaten just way to much for me.
oh no.. mate there dead already... yeah i had trouble before because my frog would not go for them, but i tricked him ha
