regarding pacman and pixiefrogs

[Callamwade]

They arent in the same tank are they?

18" cube is a bit big for a baby of either species. You can start with a medium reptile carrier and place it inside the 18" cubes so they don't feel overwhelmed by the large area.

Once they are around 3.5" to 4" they can be released into their main enclosure.

Dwarf Pyxi frogs have been known to get over 5" for males with females a bit smaller.

Pacman frogs depend on sex and species. Females can range from 4.25" to 5.5" in cranwelli and 4.5" to 6" for ornata and joazeirensis.

Males for those species are similar in size to one another usually from 3" to 4". There ard always size variations though so there is no defiinite size I can say yours will be.

If the Pyxi is eating fine and seems comfortable then it will probably fine.

They can eat mice when large enough and it is safer for the frog to feed prekilled thawed mice. Rodents are also very fattening so only offer them once a month. There are various sizes available to buy ranging from pinkies to adult mice. Choose appropriate size for the frog.

Yes they have teeth on their upper jaw and tooth-like boney projections in the center of the lower jaw called odontoids.

Watch your fingers with your pixi. Mine gets so excited at feeding time a couple times I got a bite. The last time she drew blood.

Awesome how long do thay take to grow mine is about 5 months old an still tiny about 1inch-1.2inch an shud I feed small crickets an worms till she is a bit bigger ?? I will post pictures during the week

[Dart girl]

My pixi is female so much smaller. She is 3 years old. Males can be double her size. A varied diet is best. Dusted with vitamin and calcium powder. When he gets a little bigger you can feed pinky mice. But do so sparingly. They're fatty.

Post a picture of your female Dart Girl. I've got a feeling she may not be an edulis. Or female. 2 pounds is a very large edulis. Many male Giants in captivity weight that much. As a matter of fact my male Giant who is 7.25" SVL weighs 2.2 pounds.
