Please help with my maverick ^(*~*)^

i'm 14 and don't have any kind of porch like that and wouldn't even do anything like that if I had that kind of porch.My baby pixie (Gunther) is eating better than my pacman (maverick) anyone got a suggestion on why that is?

Pyxi Frogs normaly have more of an appetite than most other frogs. Some adults have been known to devour 50 Night Crawlers in one feeding. Of course this was a very large male. Adult Pacman Frogs tend to slow down as the mature and will eat less. This is due to them not growing anywhere near as fast as when growing from froglet to juvenile to adult. Most I've ever had one of my pacman frogs eat was twelve in one feeding.

Kind of funny. My Pyxi is named Günther.

That's so cool were did u find that name.

[Maverick]

To everyone what is you're frogs story, how it got its name, and stuff like that.

Honestly, I'm really pleasantly surprised to hear that someone is as well informed and involved in reptiles/amphibians as you are at 14!

Also, your pac doesn't look like a baby, so like Grif said you don't need to worry if it doesn't eat every day. Can we get some pics of your pyxie? If it's still growing it'll be needing a lot more food than a pac, and would still be eating way more as an adult. My adult female pacman (Trevor) probably eats 5-7 nightcrawlers a week with supplements, and she's between 4-5 inches long.

Since you asked for stories; she's named after Neville's frog in Harry Potter And she doesn't care that she was named after a boy frog.
Was your Gunther named after the Adventure Time penguin by any chance? My cousins watch that show.

[Maverick]

haha yeah I did name him from that show.

[Maverick]

this is gunther.

[Maverick]

Side note:i have two frogs and a brazilian white knee tarantula

I have some German heritage and the name Günther seemed like a strong name which a Giant African Bullfrog needs. Seemed like a good fit.

[FriedrichsFrogs]

lol unrelated, but adventure time is an awesome show. Gunther is a good frog name

[Maverick]

hey that's so cool my names jay too.

I got my pacman from the pet shop and the lable said baby albino.They also said he eats like 25 crickets every feeding and I also think he said 50.

[Maverick]

ohh I mainly got him because he went from $25 to $14 and they couldn't sell the animals that they had and he was there for over 2months and there where like hundreds of nats in his enclosure and he was on the lowest part of the shelf. And I really wanted a pacman until I discovered a pixie and the pixie was already on its way because I already bought it from lllreptile.I was mainly gonna buy a pacman since they are more active, big appetite, and just unique. but the pet store was about to close and I decided to just go for it and get another frog and that's how I got maverick.This story might not be accurate but what can u say I'm just 14

agree with DV, it is rare to see someone who is 14 and who is caring, knowledgeable, seeking more information and obvuosly seeking to provide best care for a live creature! i think I've come across only a few people like that in my life. what can i say, continue being as caring as you are now, we need more people like you in our society in general.
