Silkworm as a Pac Staple?

[GrifTheGreat]

He's kind of tong trained. He'll eat the first one or two things from my tongs and after that he'll insist on catching his own. Really strange frog.

Also He tried a silkworm today. And.....he didn't like it. He's addicted to crickets. I guess I'm lucky that he'll try new food though.

This is actually normal. Most of mine including my Pyxi do this same thing.

Thanks for being so helpful everyone. Also it looks like Mippy has taken to silkworms now. He's eaten two so far in one sitting! Hopefully in a few months I can ween him to samurai food.

I also have two more questions and instead of making a new thread:

1. Is it okay for him to eat all the cocofiber that's stuck to his skin when he sheds? Or should I try to use my spray bottle and get some of it off.
2. Also, what length will he be sexable? I'm starting to think "He" is a "she" now. He's almost 2.75" long and still no sign nuptial pads.

Also I'm not being paranoid when I remove the hind legs on the crickets I feed him right? They seemed really spiny and twig like so I was scared they'd impact him.

A little Coconut fiber on the skin during shedding will not hurt so no worries.

Go ahead and wait until the frog is 3" before deciding that its a female some males won't get their nuptials until they're 3".

Removing the hind legs mostly just makes them easier for the frog to catch. So its ok.
