Hi Sean! Can you please post pics of your frog from top and side? Also, please describe it's diet and any supplements you use. Thank you !

[Sean Henderson]

He has a 20gal tank

Hes very active. I feed his crickets green cube
gut load and dry gut load. Lately since he eats a dozen i just feed them to him. He eats Crawlers(mice), horn worms, earthworms, crickets, and fish but he seems to refuse to eat fish its been 2 years and he is only as big as the picture i posted im worried.

Can't tell from picture posted what species is your Pixie. There are more than Dwarf and Giant. Need pics of frog from above and one from side of head that shows eye, tympani, and rear foot webbing. Also, there are some that show mixed traits (hybrids?) like my Duncan which is full grown and does not reach 4 in.

Has the frog diet included dustings of CA/D3 and vitamins? If not, need to start now, here are some examples to go by: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html.

its bc ur frog is a female...they dont grow as big as the males....if u were told ur frog was a male, u were told wrong then...im 100% sure ur frog is female...my female looks exactly like urs

[Sean Henderson]

Thnx for the help i talked to the local exotic pet store and they helped me out the vet confirmed that he is a male not a femal and he has grown an inch since i posted this

Was hour climate off or did you not offer enough calcium and multivitamins?

[Sean Henderson]

When i feed him crickets he eats one dozen so i didnt have to put them in the cricket keeper and they didnt eat any gutload so he didnt get the extra vitamins and nutrients

Is that how much you feed him per week?

[Sean Henderson]

He eats every three days. On the weekend, a big meal like a large horn worm or a fish or a mouse or a earth worm

You can feed him more often. Offer food every other day to every two days and you should see some growth. I can't promise though because being that size at 2 years of age usually means he has become stunted.

couldnt agree more, that is a reason of its size. It is actually pretty decent for a female.

Did you hear him croak?

"He" isn't going to croak because "he" is in fact a beautiful female!!! Makes my little baby Penelope look like a dwarf!!! Look at the distance in between eyes... It's very clear. Whoever has told you she is a male is mistaken. If you don't want her and want a male I'm sure someone on the forums might potentially trade with you.

This is an old thread. Member hasn't even replied back on it.

Think it's female that's why
