Caging Together..safe?

[jaguilar15]

Do you think it would be safe to cage them together, as a baby? like when there the size of a quarter? or should i wait for them to grow up to about 2-5in before i house them together?

Perhaps when you buy more pyxies you should buy setups for each of them. In case things don't work out keeping them together and you find one missing and another twice it's normal size. I'd wait 'till they were 4-5 inches before attempting anything like that.
They should be allowed to be housed individually, chances of things not working out are higher than chances of succeeding.

When mine were very young they seemed much more likely to try to eat anything that came close to them. That and the relative mouth to body size of babies meant I would not put them in together. At a dealers here in the UK I once saw a baby one eat a leopard frog that it had been housed with and there was not a great difference in their size.

I agree with Kevin. You should have separate setups just in case.

BUT at 3:19 in the video, the camera person has to drop the camera to separate two frogs. I think that says a lot! And the general way they look at each other, just ready to strike at the slightest movement.

I personally, would never put them together. Maybe, try the same size females, like John.

BUT all other times I would separate them. My pixies are to valuable to me to have one eat another.
