Water bowls for mature pixie frogs are optional!

Do you mist the soil/substrate? I guarantee you that there is potential for more bacteria growth in and around the substrate than there is in the water. Might as well remove that nasty old substrate! Your frog will probably turn every color of the rainbow then

I only have to replace the substate about once a month! It is sooooo easy now! MY WAYS DO WORK!!!

Just read this whole thread, and although very interesting, my guy spends the majority of his time in his giant water dish, and that is with his soil kept moist. Since you're keen in trying new things (cooked foods for frogs), put a water dish in there for a little, see if he uses it at all! If hes anything like ours im betting he will enjoy a nice soak once in awhile. My guy is also much more agressive in the water, and enjoyes submerging himself completely, of leaving only his eyes and nostrils above the water thinking hes being stealthy!

That is exactly what my frog does! They think just because they are in the water they are invisible haha

I agree on giving the water dish a try, but I think Matt has already done so and is of a different mindset towards using them.
