Eating behavior/speed question.

[GRABibus]

Yes, and at adulthood, Pyxies keep their big appetite and agressivity on preys. Pacman frogs slow down appetite when they are adult.
But this is not a rule. Just observation from myside with my pets. Each frog is different from an another.

yes that is how it goes, your baby pixie is gonna grow at the rate that will shock you, male or female, it will be like overnight, one day it is tiny and the next double that size, he needs to eat a lot in order to grow that fast and on top of that they are known for beeing aggressive eaters ( keep your fingers away lol), ornate on the other hand will be doing the same, but not quite as fast, they are more lay back, some ridiculously lazy.
every species of a frogs are different, and every frog within the species is different too, so you just watch, if they both are eating no problem, look active and healthy, don't worry about the amount of food they eat.

P.S. currently my adult female pixie (5") is eating about 4-5 times more then my adult female ornate ( over 6")

@Lija: Every time I see you reply, I just think of a savings account LOL. But yea my ornate is SOOOOOOOO lazy and barely moves. Even when it's feeding time, he's just that slow and doesn't lunge at his food like he's supposed to especially on dusting days. I think he really hates Ca.

So I was really planning to start a B.Dubia colony BUT.............they are illegal in Florida; and that sucks . Do you guys recommend any other roach specie that is similar to Dubias in nutritional and breeding efficiency?

Thanks
