What Should I Feed My Pixie Next?

[pixiefrogman]

I have been feeding my pixie nightcrawlers for the last couple of feedings and my pixie is getting sick of them, I can't get any roaches, I fed a rodent 2 weeks ago and crickets are all that seem to come to mind to feed my pixie. But what about something else? I was thinking maybe superworms, are superworms okay to feed? And what else could I feed?

Superworms are fine and appear to be a favourite food of these frogs. However, they're not nutritionally suitable as a staple food. Regarding the frog getting sick of earthworms, skip a feeding see how he feels - these frogs don't need to eat as often as we usually feed them, and that allows them to be picky.

When I was still keeping pyxies, I fed the following.


smelts (sardine like fishes)
fish food pellets (you have to get your frogs used to tong feeding)
chicks
nightcrawlers
with roaches being their staple
mice once every other month

Kong my Dwarf ABF likes the occasional supermeal worm. The only thing I tend to do before giving them to him is crush their head somewhat with the feeding tongs to try and disable their pinchers.
I don't think that they would bother your frog, but they bother me so I do it anyway.

A step down from nightcrawlers is Red Wigglers, similar to nightcrawlers yet smaller. I would assume that they have comparable nutritional values. I had tried minnows, but was quickly informed by members on the forum (much thanks) that they can carry parasites, so stopped this.

Good Luck
