Hey guys
I bought this pixie yesterday and the Pixie is from last summer, do you guys know if its a male or female?

Sorry for my bad english btw
anyone?

Hey there, I have just purchased a pixie myself much smaller in size. I have been doing a lot of research on sexing these frogs, from what I have read the head shape is better used for sexing these as coloration can vary. I would say I'm 90% sure that is a male pixie
Thank you for the reply!
I tried to feed him outside his terrarium today but he isnt really intrested in food outside of his cage, is this because of the lower temperature?
Btw here is another picture of him
How often you been feeding the big guy, in my opinion GAF that big needs a good meal every 2-4 days
I feed him every other day dubias with vitamine d 3 & calcium, sometimes a mouse and nightcrawlers once a week
I've read they can be more shy eating outside the tank some people along with myself use a tote they can't see through and a lid so the frog or whatever your feeding the frog can't jump out. Leave the frog for 20 mins or so and it should have had a meal.
i have also read juivenile frogs can be more defenceive when it comes to eating time because of instinct with predators in the wild.
A temperature drop could totally be the reason as well, say your house is 70degrees and you scoop him out of 80 degree tank could be a shocker forsure
i feed him now in his terrarium and hes doing greath, but he doesnt like nightcrawlers anymore
the temperature during the day is 86 fahrenheit, and 71.6 during the night.
do you recommend me to feed him every day or every two days?
As far as I'm concerned if they are being picky they aren't hungry enough lol don't feed him for two three days and it'll jump at anything I bet.
Im gonna give it a try, today he only eat 3 roaches.
Tbh i maybe think its a female because i think he is really small for its age
How old ?
the previous owner said he was from last summer wich was 7 months ago here in the netherlands, so he is 7 months old
I contacted the german breeder today, he confirmed its a male! (head ratio)
Right on! I'm glad he didn't make me a liar lmao! Glad you got a confirmation. My frog also eats more some days than others as long as he isn't loosing weight or not pooping I wouldn't worry about quantity so much. Anyways cheers from Canada!
thanks for helping me out bro i appreciate it!
I bought this male sunday, and he is really big!
He only ate 3 roaches and 1 nightcrawler but i think he has tot get used to his new environment
