    Question What is the best staple diet for a pyxie frog?

    I just want to find out what the best staple diet food for my pixie is, to ensure his maximum size.

    And how often am i supposed to calcium dust the food?

    I feed my girl crickets dusted in vitamins/calcium as well as superworms twice a week. They are the easiest things for me to get a hold of here. The best diet is a varied diet tho, the more variety the better.

    If you can get a hold of dubia roaches or locusts, and maintain a supply they are more nutritious than crickets and superworms. Also locust and dubia roaches don't smell as bad as crickets and aren't as talented escape artists.

    My neighbors downstairs love me :/

    Crickets, nightcrawlers, roaches, and any other worms will do nicely for a diet. Some people feed mice or other small animals. If you do do that I'd only feed them a mouse once every few months. Six months would be best.

    I use calcium supplements every third feeding or so.

    I use nightcrawlers and Blaptica dubia roaches most of the time. Occasionally I give the frogs superworms, and maybe a couple of times a year I feed them a mouse or two.
