Your TOP 3 feeders for your PIXIE?

[Dabrute]

I only have dubia! lol BUT! since I need to fatten my new frog up..I'm going to buy crickets later and get some mealworms lol

IMO night crawlers are the most nutritious live frog food ! Gut loaded insects (fed carrots, oranges, veggies) for roughage, and professionaly prepared (by me ) "frog sausages" for the big guys; round up my offerings.

I do the normal dustings with Repashy products too .

You can get them from Wal-Mart , make sure they are unscented.

[Mentat]

Night crawlers are available at some petshops, Walmarts sports section, and tackle and bait stores. If bought from last 2 ensure have no additives. They are not cheap, and if using lots, recommend culturing them. Can get materials, videos, cultures online (i.e. Amazon); just search "worm culture" or similar in Google or Youtube .

They are around 5 dollars for 25. Depending on age of the pyxie in question and numbers (which OP is asking about a single animal) That should last 1-2 weeks, so 2.50 a week. Doesn't seem too expensive to me. Earthworm cultures can easily fail depending on what zone you live in as well.

Edit: Carlos, do you culture earthworms? I'm just curious..

Ok I'm new to this! How do I make it eat night crawlers? Aren't they earthworms?

[GRABibus]

My top 3:
- Dubia roaches (Gutt loaded with carots) 2 or 3 days before
- Adult locusts
- Canadian nightcrawlers.

Nightcrawlers are big earthworms. The best of the best for our lovely big frogs

They are the same. The easiest way to get them to eat earthworms is by either using tongs and hold it 2-3 inches away from their mouth and tease them with it, or by waiting until they are in their water bowl and dropping them in one by one.

[Dabrute]

ok but do i let them run loose? I just got my frog sat and he ate that day..but he isnt even eating now..lol they just run and bury themselves before he catches them. please advise.

well top 3 for mine.... that is what she eats:
1. crickets ( loves the most), about 20-25 per feeding
2. hormworms, about 5-6 per feeding
3. nightcrawlers, loved when she was little, now it takes a lot of convincing to do and if the moon phase is right lol, she would eat very very rarely and only from a water bowl.
