I was reading one of the newer posts here, and it spiraled into a debate on how much an adult Pyxie can/must eat. My girl's staple (and definitely favored) food is nightcrawlers, and I feed her 4 (maybe 5, these worms are pretty big and meaty after all) of them every 2 to 3 days. Other days I'll feed Dubias (secondary staple). She doesn't seem to like these as much, but can eat around a dozen of them per feeding (I feed 1-1.5" juveniles). One time she even took 20 of them.

Usually I'll give her 10-12 roaches and round them off with a couple of nightcrawlers. Seems to aid digestion.

I've read Pyxies my girl's size can eat much more than aforementioned amounts, and yet as you can see, mine's anything but underweight. . .
Just how much food do these frogs need to survive anyway?

I remember a time when I was new to frogs, and had reservations about starting with a Pyxie because of their legendary appetites, especially if it turned out to be a male. And yet I'd still like to get another Pyxie someday, and I do love the impressive sizes the males grow to.
