A Beardly hello!

[greenrabbid]

Hello Everyone,

Im new to the hobby, I have a Pyxie frog whos about 8 months to a year old. I think shes female but only time will tell. She's a in 20gal tank with no substrate other than tank pebles, and a live plants there a section with water that she loves to lay in, and a log where she hides at night, I feed her with tongs every day so theres no concern of her eating any pebles.

I also have some non frog pets, a Red leather back bearded Dragon & a Jacksons chameleon. Due to this this if become interested in possibly culturing/breeding my own insects mainly crickets and B. Dubias, Im just in the research phase So im scouting the forums for all the care guides. I've read Johns (clare) guide to starting a Roach colony. Its had great info!


Looking forward to being more involved and learning from everyone.

Welcome to FF ! If you like care articles, here is a very nice one: Frog Forum - African Bullfrog - Pyxicephalus adspersus - Care and Breeding. Please share pics of your ABF; if almost 1 year old we can help tell sex. One photo of whole frog from top and one of head from side should help. Good luck !

Hi and welcome, I also have bearded dragons, two of em. I breed my own crix and its easy and very cost effective as my dragons are 8 months old and they are just eating machines.

Thanks for the warm Welcome!

Carlos; i've read the Pyxie guide a few times I actually have it booked marked and it up for a reference on food and temperatures.

paul: Yeah, i think im going to go with breeding crix and roaches we just recently received an order of 1k crix that Ive been gut loading Im hoping they start breeding then Ill start to separate them like I saw in the Crix guide.

Hey paul,

Im gut Loading with sliced carrots, chopped kale, orange slices and Flukers crix food. I'm going to switch it around.

I just got two hissers male & a female and I have 4 more pairs coming in. i have them in a Rubbermaid tub hoping they will breed sometime soon. I plan to gut load them the same ways just a mixture of dog food fish flakes and fruits and veggies.
